There are a lot of Regency plots out there. Some I love, some not so much. What do YOU think? I’ve listed a few. Let me know how much you like the plot!
For the purposes of answering, assume the book is well written and you find the blurb interesting. I totally get that a great author can rock any of these plots. What other plots do you love, love to hate, or hate like poison? Tell me in the comments.

Risky Megan and I once engaged in a Shoe-Off over at my blog. Despite the fact that I cheated by voting for my shoes as many times as I could, I lost. Badly.
However, I have bought myself a pair of boots.
I hereby challenge Risky Megan to another shoe-off, pitting my new boots (when they arrive at my house) against the footwear of her choice.
You, too, may play along. In the comments here at anytime until satisfaction is rendered, post a link to a photo of your dueling-est shoes. It’s OK if someone else is wearing them.
I’ll figure out whose shoes duel whose or something.
So, Megan, are you up to the challenge?
Yes. I WILL cheat again if I have to, but I’m thinking I won’t need to.
The day job, people. The day job.
It’s impinging on my life in ways that are not fun.
Add to this the fact that on Friday my son moves into the dorms at COLLEGE and you can count me as ::flails:::
My baby is going to COLLEGE. We’re going down Thursday evening, I’ll cry or try not to cry all day Friday. Then come home without the boy Saturday morning. Aghhh!!!!
I’m scattered and feeling like I should go watch the last Stewarts and Colberts of his pre-college life with him. Because, wahhhhh!!!
Yes, he is aware I am not dealing well with this.
And that’s my post for this Wednesday.
College. Wow. He was 8lbs 10oz when he was born and now he’s going to college.
Alas, I must postpone the shoe-off one more week. Sorry. I owe Risky Megan a challenge email. I’m thinking of challenging the rest of the Riskies, too…
Anyway, to be honest, I’ve been distracted this past week. My son moved into the dorms at college on Friday and I’ve returned to a quiet house where things are subtly different. I was proud and happy to see him off of this next adventure, but even so, I miss his presence.
I am trying to keep up with the writing of The Next Historical and to do that, I must keep this post short. So, until next week, I leave you wondering who, at my household, will be the official lightbulb changer now that the six foot 2+ teen is not here.
(that would be me.)
Some of you may know about Amazon’s new Matchbook program. Alas, it’s not my idea of a flash-of-fire gif when I delete a book I HATED off my Kindle. I still think that would be awesome and I hope someone gets on that soon. The Matchbook program allows a publisher to offer the digital version of a book for free or for a discounted amount to people who bought the print version (new) from Amazon. Used book purchases don’t count. The publisher decides whether to participate and what discount to offer, including free.
As a reader, I’m excited because, damn, I have bought a lot of books in print and I would be thrilled to get digital versions at a discount.
As a writer, I’m also excited because, see above. I hope there are lots of people out there who will decide to get my books. If someone ponies up for the Create Space print version of one of my self-pubbed books (it’s not possible to price those even at MMPB prices…) I’m happy to offer a discount for the digital version.
I’ve heard some people wondering why anyone would want the digital version if they have the print version.
I’ve heard some people in a panic over anyone getting the digital version for less for any reason.
So, whether you’re wearing your author hat or your reader hat or both, what do you think of this program? Why would you participate, or why not?
