Inspiring road-to story Sherry. And a marvelous trailer, well suited to an usually engaging and intelligent story. I grabbed one of the lovely ARCs last summer and devoured it so I have an order in for several friends now!

I already knew this story, but it was still a delight to read it. And the book trailer is so cute! Thanks for both!

Full disclosure: I totally stole “shagged to a fare-thee-well” from Judith Ivory. The brilliance that is JI continues to boggle.

And thank you everyone for the kind words.

And Jane and Ned are my inspiration for the book trailer. If you haven’t seen the video book reviews for The Courtesan’s Daughter, boy, are you in for a treat. Paper dolls are low-rent Legos. :-)
