The June Salon was the usual mix of  relaxation and fun with guest authors Cara Elliott, Maya Rodale (Salon Co-Founder), and Elizabeth Kerri Mahon (“Scandalous Women” blogger and upcoming non-fiction author) stepping in to read for Amanda McCabe.

In a fun break with Za Rules, this month’s recap post is by a guest author who hasn’t read at the Salon–yet! Click on the link and hear what the wonderful Lisa Dale has to say about her Lady Jane’s experience.

And please do mark your calenders to join us on July 5th. We have a jam-packed evening with four guest authors reading from their latest releases: Toni McGee Causey, Dianna Love (returning to the Salon), Colby Hodge AKA Cindy Holby, and yes, me,  Salon Co-Founder, Hope Tarr reading from The Tutor, my July Victorian-set romance.

Otherwise, same time, same place: 7-9 PM at Madame X. Admission is $5 or one gently-used paperback romance novel with net proceeds supporting an end-of-year donation to a New York City women’s charity.

As always, we’ll have author books available for purchase and signing on site, including Maya’s late June release, A Groom of One’s Own.

Cheers,

Hope

What to read at Lady Jane’s?

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.
