What more does a girl need than a pile of books and a bowl of chocolate? Let’s talk about what we’ve been reading and feeding our inner chocoholics.

Is it at all surprising to discover that I enjoy the genre of fantasy that I write? Well, I do, unabashedly. What’s not fun about bringing fantasy into the Regency/Victorian/Edwardian periods and seeing what mayhem results. This months’ book is definitely a tale of murder, mayhem and zombies, in a delightfully proper Regency world.

I think you’ll have as much fun with it as I did.

Just so you know, links below are Amazon associate links, so if you buy anything through them, I will get a couple of pennies from that.

Manners and Monsters: A Regency cozy fantasy

A lady never reveals the true extent of her decay…
Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence, helping her parents conduct research into a most terrible affliction – until a gruesome murder during her best friend’s engagement party pulls her from the shadows.

With her specialist’s knowledge and demure disposition, Hannah is requested to aid the investigation. Except Hannah discovers her role is to apologize in the wake of the rude and disgraced man tasked with finding the murderer. The obnoxious Viscount Wycliff thinks to employ Hannah purely as a front to satisfy Whitehall, but she’ll have none of that.

The two must work together to find the murderer before the season is ruined. But the viscount is about to meet his greatest challenge, and it’s not a member of the ton with a hankering for brains.

Harkening back to Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies, which I confess I have a soft spot for, this is a fun Regency romp with an interesting take on the zombie menace threating England. Kick back, suspend disbelief, and indulge in a bit of fantasy.
