Chasing the Tale : Titchfield Press : 9781991154354 : 14 Nov 2022 : These ten stories were written between 2020 and early 2022. They are mostly short reads-an escape into another place and time just long enough for a lunch or coffee break. To Regency England, for the most part, but I've commented in the blurb if the story is set elsewhere or else-when. Nine of the stories started life as stories for my newsletter subscribers-in every newsletter, I give away a subscriber exclusive. Some of my newsletter stories go on to be rewritten as novellas or as prequels to novels. Some have appeared in other collections. Those in this book are the ones that have, until now, been available only to my newsletter subscribers. I've also included a slightly longer story, created as a prize for a contest. The Kindest Gentleman was written for Audrey Stewart, who asked for a story about a handsome vet, and the girl next door who asks for his help to save a cat. For my other stories and novels, see htt
