ImageGREAT GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS

My first book is out! Love reading marriage of convenience stories?Adore stories set in the old west? Then you'll love my first novella, A Bride By Christmas. Get caught up in four historical romances set in the old west in which unusual circumstances cause four young people to seek marrige by Christmas. When marrige is given a deadline, the results are anything but conventional.  This book can be found at Wal-Mart, Borders, Mardels, and Amazon.com

Behind the scenes...when I was writing my novella, An English Bride Goes West, for this book, I started out making the Grisford Brothers Gang a vicious group of brothers. But as I wrote their scenes, they kept doing and saying the funniest things, so I eventually made them more misguided and redeemable.

 

ImageNOTE FROM THERESE

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a passion for all things British, must be in want of a dedicated British website. Blame it on my English-born Grandmother, but even as a child I was obsessed with things, across the pond. What I am endeavoring to do through this website is to share that passion with you through lists of historical fiction, a British based newsletter, British movie lists, and for those of you who want to write a fiction book (British novel,) information on writing a book.  So make yourself a cup of tea and pull out the biscuits and tea cakes, this is a place for all lovers of Britian to feel right at home. Enjoy!
