Happy Christmas 2003

Here is a Christmas Miscellany for you.
I hope you have read and enjoyed WINTER FIRE, which could be subtitled CHRISTMAS AT ROTHGAR ABBEY. If you have read it, you will enjoy this picture of a presepe, or nativity scene such as Genova brought to Rothgar Abbey. If you haven't read WINTER FIRE yet, perhaps you'd like a free sample

I had some trouble finding the right point to start Winter Fire, and I've put up some of the beginnings that I discarded. They are mostly true -- that is, events that happened before the beginning of the book. Enjoy! Read the cut scenes here. I have put up some Christmas treats in previous years. If you missed them, check them out from these links. A special Christmas card created in preparation for Tempting Fortune. Back when I was writing traditional regencies I wrote this scene for a future book but never used it. It features the characters from my first published book, LORD WRAYBOURNE'S BETROTHED.
