Our own Barbara Monajem has a new novella in her Regency Mystery series, “Lady Rosamund Confesses.”
After the terrifying experience of confronting a murderer, Lady Rosamund retreats, along with her father and McBrae, to the home of friends in the country for some much-needed relaxation.
But before long, they find themselves embroiled in the affairs of a neighboring family, and soon this involves a corpse.
If this isn’t trouble enough, Rosie can’t figure out what McBrae’s intentions are—not to mention her own. Will he ask her to marry him? What will she reply? And what more must she confess before daring to say yes?
This novella takes place immediately after Lady Rosamund and the Plague of Suitors.

I love Regency! I started with the “sweet” novellas. Now I’m re-reading like a madwoman and looking for new books set in that era. 👍
LOL, Cindy — There are a LOT of Regencies out there! You won’t have any problem finding plenty of good reads.
This sounds like a great series!
Thanks, Llewella. It is certainly a fun series to write, because Lady Rosamund was born to privilege and has a lot to learn about how everyone else thinks and lives.
Happy book birthday!
Thanks, Deborah. This is the only series I’ve written in first person, and Lady Rosamund sometimes breaks the fourth wall to speak directly to the reader, which is fun (for me and evidently for readers, who comment on it).
BTW — the first in the series, Lady Rosamund and the Poison Pen, is on special for 99 cents, but not for much longer.
Do you have links to the first book? Also, how many books are in the series? (Of course, I should simply google this instead of bothering you. )
I just posted a link a few minutes ago somewhere down below here.
Sounds very interesting.
I bought book 1. The reviews were excellent.
Thank you, Jan. I got a nice review from Kirkus, which was quite a thrill.
Here’s the link to Poison Pen.

Ooohhhh how did I miss this series? Starting with the first one now
Thank you, Phyllis!!
Here is a link to the first book at various vendors:

There are three full-length novels in the series and one novella. The novella doesn’t show up as part of the series because the novels were published by Level Best Books and I self-published the novella. The super ladies at Level Best reduced the price of book one to help me promote the series as well as the novella.
There will be more, but I don’t know about the length. The older I get, the more I want to write a story until I get to the end, without worrying about word count.
Happy book birthday, Barbara! What a fascinating concept–not at all what you usually see, especially in Regencies. Bought LADY ROSAMUND CONFESSES and the first in the series, LADY ROSAMUND AND THE POISON PEN, too. 😀 All bestselling wishes!
Thank you, Jean Marie!!
Congratulations and Happy Book Birthday!
Thank you, Aunt Snack!
Clearly another fun addition to the Argh bookshelves! Sending congratulations and good luck.
Thanks, Jeanine!

Thank you, Carrie! 🙂
