The closer proximity to all those interesting stops, and now you say you will have some nice young men as well....I knew I was living in the wrong country!! I love the background to all the history, fictional as well as factual. I believe that My Lady Notorious was the first of your Malloren stories that I came upon, and fell in love with the names, as well as characters. Will the UK version be so different? Is there a way to compare the two versions? thanks again for the stories, CassieCassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994039254365721768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-52188634616409135862009-11-02T21:52:45.855+00:002009-11-02T21:52:45.855+00:00Thanks, everyone.

At each event there'll be two local young men in period regimentals, and people will be able to vote for the one they think most suitable for a romance hero.<br /><br />This could be lots of fun!<br /><br />Jo :)Jo Beverleyhttp://www.jobev.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-91507664013142299992009-11-02T14:56:29.018+00:002009-11-02T14:56:29.018+00:00Jo--

Before Lady Notorious was first published, I read it in manuscript for a quote and was blown away, and it's every bit as great a story now. It's a terrific blend of action, character, and period detail--and I'd love to visit Shaftesbury again. *g*<br /><br /><br />Georgians have more room for wild and woolly, I think, but I do prefer the Regency because of all the interesting ways society was changing. Plus all those handsome soldiers home on leave. *g* <br /><br />Enjoy your journey.Mary Jo Putneyhttp://www.maryjoputney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-65626313877736753062009-11-02T13:30:51.037+00:002009-11-02T13:30:51.037+00:00Hoorah for your publishers who are giving your UK ...Hoorah for your publishers who are giving your UK readers the books in such gorgeous covers.

It was one of the first of your Malloren novels I read and really hooked me on the unique family of rogues and lords you created. <br /><br />Best wishes on your tour!EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-78992650557486514992009-11-02T09:54:33.397+00:002009-11-02T09:54:33.397+00:00Hi Jo, welcome to the blog and welcome back to the...Hi Jo, welcome to the blog and welcome back to the UK. The book tour around the locations is a fabulous idea, I'm sure it will be fun.<br /><br />As to the defining characteristic of the Regency as a setting for the books, I think it's variety. No other period offers so much, to my way of thinking. The period is well known for its balls, parties, picnics, in fact all the fun of elegant social gatherings, but as Kate says, there are plenty of opportunities for excitement and adventure, too.Amandahttp://www.amandagrange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-52700318015430310162009-11-02T09:37:55.965+00:002009-11-02T09:37:55.965+00:00Welcome to the blog Jo and congratulations on your...Welcome to the blog Jo and congratulations on your new releases and book tour. Your publishers have given you great covers. I look forward to reading them. <br /><br />As to your question defining this period, I find it so fascinating as we can encompass so many historical adventures in dramatic settings. The choice is endless - smugglers, pirates, highwaymen, wars and intrigue, diversity of class and a growing culture of elegance that still masked many injustices but which allow our heroes and heroines to triumph above their adversitykate tremaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344692385418362736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-22683575672779689412009-11-02T09:20:17.149+00:002009-11-02T09:20:17.149+00:00Hi Melissa.
