APRIL 29 – WHAT DREAMS MAY COME (Historical fiction: eBook) A year is a long time to wait between Daughter of Montague books. How about a Daughter of Montague novella to whet your appetite?
Gentle reader, I, Rosie Montague, have failed to set a good example for my seven siblings, specifically, 13-year-old Katherina, along with her friend, Princess Isabella. They imitated my own youthful folly and dressed like well-born young males, complete with stuffed codpieces, and swaggered into the night. They landed in scandalous circumstances—and the princess was robbed of her mother’s priceless ring . . .
With our fates and family names at stake, I must save the day. What ensues will require that I visit a brothel, infiltrate a thief’s debaucherous lair, and dodge Prince Escalus. I can only hope to keep intact my virginity—and my life.
(Surprise! Daughter of Montague is such a joy to write, I couldn’t resist adding to the book list. In my enthusiasm, I wrote the longest novella I’ve ever written. 🙄 Solid proof I don’t know what I’m doing. But it’s rip-roaring fun to read!)
JUNE 24 – THUS WITH A KISS I DIE release (historical fiction new release in hardcover, ebook, audiobook): “Fun, funny, charming and absolutely delightful.” —Kristin Hannah #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women

Think Hamlet! Think a ghost in the palace, a cold case Rosie must solve, her ongoing romantic issues, and of course the fabulous and rapidly growing Montague family!
October 2025 –A Daughter of Montague Family Christmas novella
Title TK, links TK, cover TK, plot brewing right now, and my early research on Italian Renaissance Christmas has filled me with joy because traditionally it was a lovely, religious and bright holiday. That makes my work a constant pleasure.
