I really enjoy putting humour into the Regencies I write -- along with some dark stuff, of course! :)<br /><br />I hope you enjoy TUL when you read it!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-46297072492694318232011-01-09T14:33:29.671+11:002011-01-09T14:33:29.671+11:00Thanks, Anna!

All that ruthless politeness! In reality, it must have been a frustrating time to be a woman - but the great thing about a romance novel is that I know the intrepid heroine will get her HEA with a hero who will treat as more than a chattel.<br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-85459456866386372712011-01-09T10:27:07.939+11:002011-01-09T10:27:07.939+11:00Regency is so different from today - the society, ...Regency is so different from today - the society, dress, way of living - all very fascinating.
