The death of her cruel husband means freedom at last for Lucretia Tifton—until she learns that the guardian he chose for her longed-for baby is the latest in a line of earls known for separating their children from unfaithful wives. The elusive new earl is certain to hear the gossip about Lucretia. Will he believe it and prove to be as heartless as his ancestors?

Giles, the Earl of Netherbroke, wants nothing more than to work in his London shop, building furniture with beautiful marquetry finishes. If unexpectedly inheriting the earldom isn’t bad enough, now he’s saddled with an unwanted guardianship. What’s worse, the baby’s mother is the loveliest woman he’s ever seen.

Giles is almost certain Lucretia is an adulteress—and the more he learns about her, the more he understands why she might have betrayed her husband. Nevertheless, he is determined not to succumb, like his ancestors, to the Infidelity Curse.

You can find the submission form at TheBeauMonde.com under the “Resources” tab at the top or at: https://thebeaumonde.com/main/resources/the-regency-reader/new-release-submission/

Please make sure to fill out correct information AND also that your book has an upcoming release date. It really will not help to promote a book that’s already been out a couple of months.

To help promote your book, include a link to your website to read an excerpt—due to restrictions for RWF’s non-profit status, this cannot be to a buy site (so do not use a link to any bookstore).

Regency Fiction Writer members may submit multiple books in any month—a benefit of joining RFW (along with access to great workshops and networking through the RFW website and forums). Non-members may only submit one book in any month.

Please make sure your book cover is less than 1MB in size. To make the Regency Reader email easy for readers to download and read, the cover image will be sized and compressed for a fast load for readers.

Do remember for any blurb copy to promote your book that, in general, people read 25% less online (and that includes in emails). You want catchy copy that isn’t too long or you risk a reader skimming or skipping over your promotional copy.

Today Regency Fiction Writers (RFW) is One Year Old!

To my fellow members of RFW,

It is October 1st. One year ago, RFW was formed. I just want to take a moment to thank you all for making this day happen, the first anniversary of our international organization Regency Fiction Writers.

It takes boldness and faith and perseverance to do something new, to break from the old, and to stand on our own. We did this together. We should celebrate.

Yet, there is still plenty of hard work ahead. We want to continue to be a beacon and a resource writers of Regency set fiction. We want to have a positive impact on the career of every member who decides to join RFW. We need volunteers and strong participation to keep us growing and leading in the writing world.

All of you, continue to be wonderful. Each of you are, and you all offer so much to RFW. I thank you for your voice.

From the board, our advisors, and every founding member, we are grateful for the faith you have placed in RFW, and we look forward to the future.

Barbara Monajem – Featured Beau Monde Author

Photo of author Barbara Monajem.

Today’s featured Beau Monde author is
Barbara Monajem!

Barbara Monajem wrote her first story at eight years old about apple tree gnomes. After publishing a middle-grade fantasy, she settled on historical mysteries and romances with intrepid heroines and long-suffering heroes (or vice versa). Often there’s bit of fantasy mixed in, because she wants to avoid reality as much as possible.

Barbara used to have two items on her bucket list: to make asparagus pudding and to succeed at knitting socks. She managed the first (don’t ask) but doubts she’ll ever accomplish the second. This is not a bid for immortality but merely the dismal truth. She lives near Atlanta with an ever-shifting population of relatives, friends, and feline strays.
