Today Captain Ingram's Inheritance comes out in large print. Strictly speaking, it's not a mystery, but it has three attempted murders in it, so it's definitely crime fiction! It's the third of a trilogy, so here's a bit about them all.

The first is Miss Jacobson's Journey. It's a story about smuggling gold across enemy France to Lord Wellington's troops in the Peninsula, to pay the troops. The British government was in despair because the French sank so many of their ships carrying gold for the soldiers. The Rothschilds came to the rescue (true) and Miriam Jacobson got caught up in their schemes (fiction), escorted by two handsome young men who loathed each other.

I just found out:
 "Amazon.com sent out a message today about the forthcoming publication of [my Regency] Lord Roworth's Reward in large print. It was the featured book of the day."

 Wow, Amazon has good taste!

This is the cover of the e-book version, available at www.RegencyReads.com and other e-book sellers.

I'd post the original paperback cover, which is really cute, except I lost the .jpg when I switched computers and I'd have to scan it. Someday...
This is the second in my Rothschild Trilogy. In the first, Miss Jacobson's Journey, Miriam Jacobson is involved in a plan to smuggle Rothschild gold across France to pay Wellington's army in the Peninsula. Lord Roworth is one of her travelling companions. In the second book, he is Nathan Rothschild's agent in Brussels during the Battle of Waterloo. He shares lodgings with an artillery officer, Frank Ingram, and his sister Fanny, and their 3-yr-old ward. When Frank is badly wounded at the Battle of Quatre Bras, Fanny turns to Roworth for help.
