Penelope ( A Madcap Regency Romance ) 
Leaving behind the rural charms of Finnshire, Miss Penelope Fairweather arrives in London with hope in her heart and a dream in her eye. The dowager, no less, has invited her for a season in London, where she will attempt to catch a husband.

Thus begins our heroine's tale as she attempts to tackle the London season with all her rustic finesse. Unfortunately, her rustic finesse turns out to be as delicate as a fat bear trying to rip apart a honeycomb infested with buzzing bees.

What follows is a series of misadventures, love affairs, moonlit balls, fancy clothes, fake moustaches, highwaymen, sneering beauties, pickpockets, and the wrath of a devilishly handsome duke.

I STILL LOVE my Kindle Touch!

It is amazing what a "wifi update" can do, and Amazon has been great at keeping their various Kindle devices updated and improved on a regular basis. Just when I was getting a little annoyed with my Kindle Touch (purchased last year) I picked it up this morning and noticed a little different look to the screen when I turned it on. More important, it seems to be working better too... the touch a little more consistent, swiping much more precise and page turning a little more frisky. I don't know what they did and I don't much care (not needing to know just how that particular sausage was made), but it is enough of an improvement for me to want to use it again, and not "need" to look with lust at the Kindle Paperwhite any more for the time being. 

The nice thing I have noticed about the Kindles is that once you have one, you will be able to get years out of it, without wanting to "upgrade" every year. The newer ones are nice, but the newer features aren't so earth shattering to "need" to replace an old faithful. Kind of reminds me of my iPhone and other Mac products, in the way they keep the older devices updated so the line between older and newer models is pretty blurred.

I like that. AND the prices are getting better and better every day, so if you are looking to get a new one, this is a great time. I like to pass my older Kindles on to friends and family. It is a great way to share and my Kindles get a great new home and someone else to enjoy reading with them.

Defending Elton

Publication Date: March 19, 2013

TV scriptwriter TJ Cooke has come up with a highly original concept, and a gripping plot. The story revolves around maverick London lawyer Jim Harwood, his on-off relationship with work colleague Loren, and his whirlwind romance with the beautiful yet enigmatic Sarena.

Jim is instantly smitten by Sarena, a Sri Lankan beauty who is in London to further her studies. However, with a jealous Loren on their tail, their dalliance comes to a sudden and catastrophic end, one which Jim fears might see both him and Loren charged with murder.

Though Sarena’s demise was accidental, Jim knows that to a jury it will look like a classic ‘love triangle’ murder. He reckons he has no option but to distance both Loren and himself from the crime scene, and does so by providing the police with both an alternative scenario and a far more likely suspect...

...Enter the hapless Elton Spears, an unhinged and gullible ‘care in the community' patient. Jim knows that Elton is potentially dangerous, and that he has committed previous crimes which might suggest he’s the likely assailant. He seems the perfect patsy.

Indeed, Jim seems to have all bases covered... not only has he used all his criminal law experience to frame Elton, but he represents him too, thereby having control and conduct of his case...

Jim’s strategy to escape from criminal culpability seems as risky as it is reprehensible, and when things start to go wrong at Elton’s murder trial he not only regrets his actions but seeks a path to redemption.

Meanwhile the unpredictable Elton starts to recall details which suggest that Jim is covering his tracks. Jim also fears that Loren might have her own agenda, one which will see Jim carry the can whilst she emerges unscathed... but it’s the suggestion that some other unknown and altogether darker forces are at play which causes Jim to worry even more.

Haunted both by his actions and his past, Jim finds that his efforts to ‘put things right’ are overtaken by events. He may have cleverly outwitted the authorities, and skilfully manipulated the system, but playing with truth can be a very dangerous game...

Described as a ‘devilishly clever and inventive tale’ and a ‘tense and edgy thriller’ Defending Elton is full of neat twists and turns, which keep you guessing how things will turn out, right to the unexpected end. Fay Samuels
