Cerridwen Press will be publishing my Regency-set stories and I've developed a timeline to help readers who like to know the year in which the story is set, and which story comes first. I've got four books which feature members of the incorrigible Archer family and it's best to read them in order to get the full effect, although it is not necessary. :-) The other stories may be read in any order that pleases you.

Second Sons Novels: Excerpts

Gardening during the Regency period. For writers who set their novels in England during the Regency period (early 19th century), I've included some very basic gardening information. It's not a lot at the moment, but over time I will be building it out. I'm hoping it will help non-gardening writers who want to include a little color, but are unsure where to begin.
