The Ruling Passion IPPY Gold Award

I am pleased to announce that my latest book, The Darcys: The Ruling Passion has been given a Gold Medal for Historical Fiction by 2012 Independent Publisher Book Award!

It has been brought to my attention that a miscreant author, Lillian M has usurped another Jane Austen sequelist's title, a second author's cover, and invented a blog under my name in order to manipulate search engines to sell e-book erotica on Amazon.

I have not read any of Lillian's work, but if she must resort to such unscrupulous measures to peddle it then it must truly be of questionable merit. If anyone knows Lillian M, I know that several indignant authors would be interested in learning how to contact her. Thanks!
