Deleted Scenes & Excerpts

• Just how did Sophie land her Writing Girl gig at The London Weekly? You won’t find this interview with Sophie and Knightly in any book!

• Excerpt: A Groom Of One’s Own. Featuring Duke’s wishlist for a wife and a horribly forward heroine. Hint: horribly forward is not on his list. Another hint: he falls in love with her anyway.

• Excerpt: A Tale Of Two Lovers. A very irate Lord Roxbury demands that a very stubborn Lady Julianna retract the salacious gossip she has printed about him in her column, Fashionable Intelligence. They have slipped away from a ball, and find themselves in a conservatory, lit only be moonlight…

• Excerpt: The Rogue And The Rival. Our hero, Phillip Kensington, Marquis Huntley, has recovered consciousness after a dreadful riding accident, but not his manners. He was less than thrilled to wake up in an abbey and find himself bedridden, wearing a woman’s nightgown, and in the care of a lovely nursemaid who shockingly resists his attempts at flirtation!

• Excerpt: The Heir And The Spare. The scene in which our intrepid American heiress waltzes with the Good Twin and wonders about some subtle differences between him and his Evil Twin, who she thinks is the Good Twin. Mistaken identities and negligent chaperones abound.

• Original Novella! Darcy Darlington & The Diamond of Desire. Darcy is an amateur sleuth in Regency England and she’s on the hunt for the elusive Diamond of Desire…and the affections of the dashing rake Tristan Cole.

The Writing Girl World

• Who’s who in the Writing Girl world? Make the acquaintance of the drunken Lord Borwick, Lady “Drawling” Rawlings, and other outrageous secondary characters.

• Fancy a stroll along Fleet Street? See where the Writing Girls work and have adventures.

• Behind the Scenes at The London Weekly. You won’t find this in any novel! This extra short story details The Weekly staff as they work on this actual issue. Knightly is bossy, Julianna is mouthy, Sophie dreads weddings and Grenville grumbles. Oh, and because this was a grad school project 1) it’s a great sneak peek into the period and 2) there are footnotes galore.

• The London Weekly. This is a fictional version of a typical 1820′s newspaper. What stories are real and which one’s did I make up? There are pages of footnotes for your fact-checking pleasure.
