This weekend I shall be at the Baltimore Book Festival. I'm very excited to be featured along with wonderful writers like Emily Giffin. The Maryland Romance Writers have organized a great line up of panels featuring Pam Rosenthal, Janet Mullany, Hope Tarr, Leanna Renee Hieber, Stephanie Draven, Megan Hart, and many others.

I will be speaking at two panels on Friday afternoon - on developing memorable characters and on historical accuracy in historical romance. For the latter I'm planning to talk about my researches into eighteenth century pornography and the way I used it in THE AMOROUS EDUCATION OF CELIA SEATON.

There's an author tent where festival visitors have the opportunity to chat with writers and get their books signed. I love meeting readers, past, present and future. So please - come on by!

Details of all the exciting book events can be found on the festival website.
