Sandy's Podchatter

To celebrate the release of my third novel, BEWITCHED, I'm reading the prologue and an excerpt from the first chapter. Enjoy!

Here comes Chapter 14 of my podcast novella BETRAYAL as well as more ramblings on and readings from 19th-century guide books. Enjoy!

I'm absolutely thrilled that I can present you a new episode -- and not only that: a new episode which includes a reading of Chapter 13 of BETRAYAL. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Finally! A new episode of Sandy's Podchatter! And a fairly long on top of that! After the big discussion on plagiarism that swept through the romance community a week or two ago, I thought it might be a good idea to talk a bit about the kind of research that is necessary to write a historical romance. So in this episode I'm talking about historical London and the books I use to put together my London settings. Enjoy! (Note: this episode is largely unedited, I only cut short some of the longer pauses, which means you get to enjoy all of my ehms *g*)

But for the sake of her child, she now returns to confront the man whom she once loved more than life itself until lies and deceit tore her life and marriage apart.

I've finally overcome the stupid cold, and the cough's almost gone, too. :) So here's the new episode, in which I'm reading an old short story of mine, called With the Godmothers' Best Wishes. Enjoy!

Another slightly chaotic episode -- I recorded this last night (which accounts for some of the strangeness *g*). I'm talking about the preparations for my first solo reading on 19 May and about one of my favourite authors: Rosemary Sutcliff. Enjoy! :O)
