Ladies, have you ever heard of The Regency Reader?  It's a monthly e-mail newsletter sent our on all upcoming release regency books.  It's published under the auspices of The Beau Monde (which is an offshoot informational arm of Romance Writers of America) 

If it sounds interesting to you, visit here:   http://thebeaumonde.com/resources/the-regency-reader/

There are SOOO many interesting tidbits of Regency info on the site.

Happy reading ..... and enjoy!!!!

Thank you, Forest!  That site looks interesting.  I'll add it to my list of touch base sites.

Never heard of these .......  Is Regency the name of the publisher ... or of the genre?

It is a genre named after a period in Great Britian named the Regency because King George the III was deemed unfit to rule , so his son the Prince Regent, ruled in his place, till he became king in 1820

I guess we should say, Georgette Heyer romances started the genre.  Make sure you pick up one of her romances, and not one of her mysteries, which are for die-hard Heyer fans only, in my opinion.

@QVCkitty1@stuyvesant,

Love Eloisa James, she writes well, plays with words, rather sparrs with them, she is funny, creative, you name it...however her last novel three minutes in heaven was a huge disappointment. It took me less than two minutes to know that I was somewhere else🌻I listen to her books via Aubible (belongs to Amazon) and had to return it.

i also like Courtney Milan, Georgette Heyer, Lorraine Heath and Lisa Kleypass to name a few.

Grace Burrows is a favorite, because of her wonderful way with language. Plus I love  her male characters.
