Louisa, it’s not a Signet Regency but a Signet Eclipse, which is a sort of multipurpose line from NAL–it includes all subgenres (including erotica and erotic romance) and both trade and mass market paperbacks.

So I’m now letting people know what a sexy book it really is even if the cover and back cover blurb don’t tell you that!

I can’t believe, from that little explanation of the plot, that they put you into Signet Regency! Boy, has that line changed in the last few years. For the better, I’d say–your book sounds amazing! I love super sexy hot stuff written by funny, intelligent women…Ask Kate, she knows.

Maria, funnily enough I call it Forbidden Shoes sometimes too (the foot fetishits’ edition). But my favorite nickname is its working title, Ass Bandits of the Caribbean.

I equate the Georgian period with more debauchery. *g*
“Tattoos, scars, piercings, a sneer, a really, really big whip, and a shaved head”. LOL! The only one of these I don’t have any longer is the shaved head.
LMAO! Maria. I need new glasses so I can relate.

I think I need my contacts updated, I thought the title was “Forbidden Shoes” until I read a little more closely.

Great interview, Kate! And Jane, the quiz made me laugh! I’ll be on the lookout for the book:)

Hi Crystal, Shelli, Victoria, and Mel–thanks for dropping by! It’s interesting how narrow a period the Regency actually was. I think the women’s clothes of the late Georgian period, were at their best around 1800 when they relied on classical line and drape; and it’s that we tend to think of as Regency style rather than the encrusted rosette-y hems and funny sleeves of the 18-teens.

I was very proud to have the book come out this year b/c it’s the 200th anniversary of the passing of the act of parliament that abolished the slave trade. I dedicated the book to the abolitionists, tho I think it might have caused them conniptions.

LOL! I’m definitely writing historical erotica. Loved the quiz.
Oh, Jane, I’d love to read “Forbidden Shores”. I was asked a question once about what time period I thought wasn’t written about enough. I answered “Georgian”. That period appeals to me greatly. I love historical romance!

The book is intriguing me, I admire historical writers as I don’t think I could manage all the research involved!
