Maggie Robinson is a former teacher, library clerk and mother of four who woke up in the middle of the night, absolutely compelled to create the perfect man and use as many adjectives and adverbs as possible doing so. A transplanted New Yorker, she lives with her not-quite perfect husband in Maine, where the cold winters are ideal for staying inside and writing hot historical romances. A two-time Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice nominee, her books have been translated into nine languages.
I’m so excited to introduce my new Cotswold Confidential series to the world! It’s been a few years coming, with me staying in two charming Cotswold cottages for several months to get the atmosphere just right (Oh, the hardships we authors go through, LOL). The series begins with Schooling the Viscount, wherein Captain Lord Henry Challoner, a wounded young veteran from the Boer and Zulu wars returns to England and can’t make the adjustment to what he sees as “unreal” life. His father sends him to a strict secret spa tucked away in the Gloucestershire countryside, where contact with the outside world is forbidden, and no booze or babes are in sight. Until he stumbles across village schoolteacher Rachel Everett, who knows consorting with the village’s Guests is very much against the rules. But rules are meant to be broken, aren’t they?
If Henry had been able to sneak a letter to Rachel, it might go something like this:
For some reason, I don’t think upstanding Rachel is going to be impressed with this missive.
I’ll give away a signed paperback with no geographical restrictions! If you were sent away to a strange place for a month with no contact with the outside world, what would you miss most?
Check out Henry and Rachel's love story in Schooling the Viscount.
After a harrowing tour of duty abroad, Captain Lord Henry Challoner fought to keep his memories at bay with two of his preferred vices: liquor and ladies. But the gin did more harm than good--as did Henry's romantic entanglements, since he was supposed to be finding a suitable bride. Next stop: The tiny village in Gloucestershire, where Henry can finally sober up without distraction or temptation. Or so he thinks...A simple country schoolteacher, Rachel Everett was never meant to cross paths with a gentleman such as Henry. What could such a worldly man ever see in her? As it turns out, everything. Beautiful, fiercely intelligent Rachel is Henry's dream woman--and wife. Such a match would be scandalous for his family of course, and Rachel has no business meddling with a resident at the famed, rather draconian, Puddling Rehabilitation Foundation. All the better, for two lost souls with nothing to lose--and oh so very much to gain.

I would miss my phone and my books!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have been welded to my iPhone.I read somewhere you should plug it into a different room when you go to bed. I keep looking at it in the middle of the night!
DeleteMy cats!
ReplyDelete:::waving like crazy::: Hi Maggie! We just had a conversation in FB about Saratoga Springs, NY. :-)
Indeed we did, and I'm working on my husband for a trip there! I'd miss my dog, even though he sheds like crazy. I'd probably bring lots of dog hair with me, LOL.
DeleteIt would have to be my family, including my extended family on social media. I've become one of those people who can't move away from her phone.

ReplyDeleteMaybe you need a month away, LOL. I talk to my daughters a million times a week. I'd sure miss them too. (My son is not quite so communicative--he's the silent type, like his dad).
DeleteOh I would miss my family the most...and music!!! But...I have to say...the sound of silence sometimes is golden!
ReplyDeleteI was an only child, and I like nothing better than a quiet house.I don't mind being alone--more time for reading and writing!
