🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Kate Archer
After she went through her Barbara Cartland phase, she went on to Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and so many other talented writers blessed with the ability to bring the Regency and Georgian eras to life. Kate would like nothing more than to time travel on back to the Regency period (as well as time travel on back to her twenties so long as we’re going somewhere) in order to take her chances at a ball. Who would take the first? And who’d escort her into supper? What kind of meaningful looks would be exchanged? Kate would hope, having made such a trip, to encounter at least one gentleman that would give her quite a hard time. He ought to be vexatious in the extreme, and worth every single vexation, in order to make such a journey worthwhile.
