FROST FAIR
February 1814: Gideon Frost is a proud man barely clinging to respectability.  Unable to make enough as a printer to earn money for food or heat, and hopelessly in love with Joshua Redfern, who all-too-infrequently purchases his engravings, Gideon sometimes resorts to a spot of prostitution to pay the bills. When the Thames freezes over and London holds what will be its last frost fair on the ice, Gideon, like countless tradesmen, takes the opportunity to move his shop onto the frozen river, hoping that the fair will earn him enough to save him from looming bankruptcy--not realizing that malicious, acquisitive eyes are watching

When disaster strikes, Redfern offers him a position within his household. But when Gideon leaves his life of hardship behind him, he discovers that desire and delight can co-exist with the most terrible doubt...and that some prices are perhaps too high to pay.

ebook now - print book in a few weeks, and I'll let you know when it's up on Amazon too.

Hope you enjoy it.

Yay! But why did it have to be on a day I'm up to my neck in school and Christmas production stuff? * I must not peek I must not peek I must not peek I must not peek*

It'll still be around when you are finished. No hurry.

But I'd rather be reading your book than sorting out school stuff. :((

Yay! Congratulations! I hope you don't mind if I wait until I can get it in print? After all, I have the assurance that I already know I like it :)

Of course I don't mind! It's amusing how everyone on the thread wants a print copy! Me too!

Oh, how I've been looking forward to this. Glad to hear there's going to be a print book...they're so much easier to deal with on a treadmill than an e-book. But...I'm not sure I can wait....

Hello, you don't know me, I saw this on friendsfriends, I just wanted to say it sounds great, and I'm going to keep an eye out for it in print.

Especially after I read the happy amazon reviews for Standish, although actually this review is totally my favourite. Sorry, I know this comment is a bit random. But yes.

Gotta love you for the Crusoe icon, if nothing else!

Yes - I wanted people to realise that I hadn't gone mad and was suddenly writing REALLY bad love poetry!

I hope you enjoy the book - I'll be letting everyone know when the print version comes out.

Nice to meet you!

I appear to have changed personage. How odd...

Wonderful! It's an excellent story and I hope it sells very well. I'm holding out for the print edition, though. I just can't get into ebooks. I wish I could, as they're usually cheaper, but reading books is my relief from being in front of the screen.

I'll send you a signed bookplate if you like, hun. I don't get author copies, or I'd send you a copy.
