The Union Jack & TopShop...

These are some of my fave English things in no particular order: Barbara Cartland's sweet romance novels. Beatrix Potter and her adorable Peter Rabbit crew. Phillipa Gregory's sensual and dramatic Wideacre series. Bridget Jones' quirky adventures{and the next movie that may be in the works}. The gothic romances penned by the Bronte sisters. Vivienne Westwood's gorgeous haute couture fashions. Wedgwood's Fairyland Luster chinaware. Princess Kate! Kate Winslet! Adele and her 21 album!!! Supermodel Kate Moss! Comedian Ricky Gervais. Christian Bale! Jason Statham! Fine china, tea time, and biscuits. Becks & Posh. Rimmel makeup! GWTW's Vivian Leigh. Downton Abby {both classic and modern.} Cadbury's caramel filled chocolate Easter eggs. Smexy James Bond and his Aston Martin{s.}

It's raining, it's pouring...

Omg its raining/hailing/snowing in So Cal today! Its time to break out the umbrellas, plastic slickers, snow chains, jackets, and a new pair of windshield wipers. I see on the news that the Grapevine is major clogged. It sucks to be one of those people stuck there, moving at less than the pace of a snail and wasting really expensive almost or over $5 a gallon gas and staring into a sea of blinking red tail lights. Then after a couple of hours you find out you've only moved about half a mile. Wait- thats like normal rush hour traffic... except when you factor in the rain etc. no one really knows how to drive! Additionally I'm going to throw in a brief rant here. Mean drivers suck. Don't roll down your window and throw out your trash/your fast food wrappers/your cigarettes, etc; that's just disgusting and uncool. Don't run the light. Don't cut others off. Don't pass on sharp curves. Don't keep your brights on at night-it can blind other drivers. Don't leave your pet in the car with the windows up. Don't wedge your d@mn oversize SUV/Truck/Van into a compact spot where you scrape other peoples' car doors or cars. Don't abuse the priviledge of another's handicap placard just to park close to an entrance. Don't abandon your shopping cart in a random parking spot-where it can roll off and hit someone elses car-or where someone has to get out and move it before they can park. If you/your car can't drive fast get outta the fast line. Lastly, don't cheat to use the carpool lane. That plastic doll in the passenger seat does not count as a second person. Bye.

Monday Monday...

Wow Monday again huh? Where do the days/weeks go? Watched bits and pieces of the Oscars last night. It was beautiful, kind of bizarre, and definitely not boring. I think the best parts were seeing 'The Artist' get so many wins. And Jean DuJardin mon dieu, oh la la you are tres bien magnifique! The accent, the looks...{fans self}...the everything. I don't really understand what you're saying French, but boy does it sound hot! Anyways... Moving on to another topic its Girl Scout cookie season again. All I have to say is Samoas are full of awesomeness and made of win! I could eat a whole box of them they're so good. And I found a really funny out to lunch sign through Google image search and posted it on my desk while I'm gone. I think I'm going to get a new battery for my mobile soon too; it dies way too much. Fun fact: I was watching the news the other day and they said people are developing addictions to their smart phones. I wonder if that can really be possible? I suppose so. I can understand that but I can't understand how people can be addicted to video games. Especially grown up, older people who are even way older than me. I know one guy and I'm like: Dude put the controller down. You'll have plenty of time to play that in senior living. Get out there and live some life. That is all...for now.

What do you like?

Hey party ppl Happy Friday night to everyone! I just wanted to give a shout out to y'all who have read my book and are reading my blog! Thanks for your continued support, you all rock! Secondly I have a question to ask eveyone... writing wise I have many irons in the fire so to speak, and I'm curious as to what genre appeals best to you! What type of writing project do you want to see me tackle next? A more traditional Western action adventure romance? A slightly complicated, slightly steamy Regency piece? A fun, fast paced spy styled comedy action dash of romance fic? A quirky modern set romance? A script styled parody tale in either a soap opera or anime genre? My inquiring mind wants to know...so please vote in the poll! Domo arigato peeps!

Regency Randomness

I've been truly passionate about the Regency Era and its fictional romance genre for years.

Riding habits. Sidesaddles. The Serpentine. The Haberdashers. The Miliners. The Mantua Makers. The Modiste. Bond Street. Tea Time! Carriages. Phaetons. Coaches. Curricles. Highwaymen! The Cut Direct.
