Another one for the holidays:

---

I also set a Regency at Cotehele--my sister lives very close to the house and the first time I saw it I knew it was the perfect setting for a story. Or two.

In SMUGGLERS' SUMMER,  though I described the house pretty accurately, I did add a secret passage. Somehow it also turned up in Mistletoe and Murder...  

    This is the original cover of Mistletoe and Murder. Though somewhat murky, and apparently showing a summer scene, it is a picture of the actual house where the story is set, Cotehele, though I called it Brockdene, so as not to upset surviving family members NOT related to the odd goings-on that Christmas of 1923.
