Lady Jane’s Salon and I go way back—as a co-founder, I go right back to the beginning, in fact. I know a lot of the friendly faces in the crowd, the bartender Alex, and all that red. Each monthly salon is another fun get together—until it’s my turn to read. Then I am terribly vexed by two questions: what to wear and which scene to read.
On June 7th, I’ll be reading from A Groom Of One’s Own. It’s new, brand new. It’s so hot off the presses it’s not even off the presses—I need to hold onto one of my ARCs to have something to read from. The book comes out at the end of June but I wanted to give a sneak peek to my salon pals.

So, which scene to read? The one where the heroine, Miss Sophie Harlow, is jilted at the alter? The one where she finds the duke’s list of Desirable Qualities in A Wife? Or the carriage ride scene my critique partner said was perfect?
One thing I do know: I will be reading with a rogue of my own. He’s read at Lady Jane’s before and he’s damn funny. Here’s the proof.
As for what to wear? Definitely something that matches all that red at Madame X.
