Reminder that the Special prices at #BookViewCafe run from the 15th to the 15th.

And on Page Two, look at that, the third Alfreda novel! (Which can be read stand-alone.)

And yes--we found out what's wrong with my muse. I shall write again! (Probably after moving.)

I am writing my 100th full-length #novel, the last book in a 12-book series, and after a career spanning 40 years, I cannot find a solution to the plot I have created. I really cannot go out in a stumble instead of a sheet of flame. Can I time travel an AK47 back to the Regency? patriciarice.com
