A Duke for All Seasons~Chapter Two!

The second chapter of my FREE online novella, A DUKE FOR ALL SEASONS, is up and running!

In case you don't know what's up with this, let me bring you up to speed. Each month I'm adding a chapter to a free read on my website. I've invited my readers to vote on the direction the story should take.

I had such fun reading all the suggestions from readers for how the story should continue. The characters are starting to really take shape and I know what's happened in their past to bring them to their present (not that I'll share all of that just yet!) Hope you enjoy the story of Arabella and Sebastian.

Please tell your friends about this free read! Here are the links:

Chapter One
Chapter Two

Each month when you vote you'll be entered in my quarterly contest. One lucky reader will win a $100 gift card in the drawing on March 31st!

Enjoy!

Time to Write the 2nd Chapter!

I'm thrilled that so many readers have read the first chapter of my FREE online novella, A DUKE FOR ALL SEASONS. When they voted for how the story should proceed, I got more than I bargained for! Some sent detailed suggestions for what should happen next, complete with the psychological motivations behind the characters' actions.

I have the most creative readers on the planet!

But it's time for me to take pen in hand and write the next chapter of Sebastian and Arabella's adventure. I'm still getting acquainted with them, but I'll bet they have some surprises in store for me.

I plan to post Chapter Two on February 1st. You can still enter the contest (the prize is a $100 gift card and you can enter three times--once in Jan, Feb and March!), but the story trajectory for this month has been pretty decisively determined by my readers' votes.

If you've read the first chapter, I have a question for you.

Why do you think Arabella agreed to transport the mysterious envelope across the Channel in the first place? (Wild speculation is absolutely encouraged!)
