Plus I’m a huge fan of Downton Abbey and loved writing in that era.<br />I’ll be posting up some quotes, fun facts, and I’m thinking up some giveaways for the days to come. <br /><br />Here’s a small teaser excerpt from An American Duchess:<br /><br />Her plucked brow arched. “You’re afraid to admit there is anything wrong with you. Good heavens, how could there not be? My brother died in France. He wrote letters home. He tried to be strong and stoic for a long time, then he began to fall apart. He wrote about how he couldn’t stand the shooting and the shelling, the mud, the wet trenches, the sickness any longer—”<br /><br />“There is absolutely nothing wrong with me, Miss Gifford. The only things I brought back with me from the War are the scars on my face and on my soul. My mind is completely intact.”<br /><br />She shook her head. He despised sympathy, but her soft, sad expression ladled it over him by the bucketful. “You can’t deny what you feel. You may actually have to face your emotions—”<br /><br />“I do not have emotions. Now, return inside. Dance in whatever shocking way you want with Sebastian. But send Julia out to me. I am taking her home.”<br /><br />Happy Reading!<br />Sharon Pagehttp://www.sharonpage.comnoreply@blogger.com
