Thank you for purchasing, reading, and reviewing my books!
As you may have guessed, I love historic houses and architecture. When I lived in London, I signed up for a National Trust and English Heritage membership. Every weekend, I would get on a train or bus and explore a new property. I found a volunteer group that would go to the houses and we would maintain the gardens. In 'An Affair at Apsley House', I feature some of the properties. Though depicted in a fictional sense, I hope if you are interested, you will click on the buttons to learn more and support the work that they do.

Cowdray House was built in the 16th century. Today, it serves the community in different ways from golf to weddings. An easy carriage ride from Adeline's best friend house, this was the only home Adeline ever knew. According to Adeline, it was an easy estate to manage compared to Petworth Park, but it passed the time and kept her busy.

Most of Nostell was designed and built by two generations of the Winn family between c.1727 and 1785. Adrian hides here during the London Season to avoid attending balls and hide away from society. According to his best friend, anyway.
