My First Book Fair

October 14, 2018 / lisaepugh / Leave a comment

I finally got to go to my first book fair at the local library. It was fairly busy, and I got to talk about my book at my table and in front of the group. My daughter came with me to provide help and moral support. She was very patient, all things considered. Her are … Continue reading My First Book Fair

Busy time in Pugh-ville

I've been very busy this past weeks. I've been working on two books that are still in process, I created two Unexpected Danger ads through Amazon, and finally have professional business cards and other promotional material on the way. I also have an advertisement published in this month's The Romance Review E-zine. https://www.theromancereviews.com/ezines/042018.pdf If you … Continue reading Busy time in Pugh-ville

Working Hard

The sequel to "Unexpected Danger" is underway. Doesn't have a title yet, but I'd say 2/3rds at least is written. I'm adding a bit more emotional depth here and there, and it's going to be interesting to see the evolution. A lot of my posts here are the result of research I'm doing for this … Continue reading Working Hard

1912-13 and 1927-28 music for Unexpected Danger and its sequel

February 8, 2018February 8, 2018 / lisaepugh / Leave a comment

Since Christopher Tobias' last access to popular music before Unexpected Danger was 1913, I thought I'd look into the sort of thing he might have heard. These are what I came up with. The Peelenium links are original recordings from the time period chosen to represent their time-periods in a millenium celebration (1999). http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Peelenium_1912 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Peelenium_1913 … Continue reading 1912-13 and 1927-28 music for Unexpected Danger and its sequel

The “Accidental” Historical Romance Writer

January 4, 2018January 4, 2018 / lisaepugh / Leave a comment

Originally posted to the Romance Writers of America's Hearts through History forum. When you think about it, I'm a strange choice for a Historical Romance writer. I've never picked up a Harlequin in my life. I generally don't read Historical Romances (a few of my favorite paranormal romances have time-travel elements though). I live in Virginia, … Continue reading The “Accidental” Historical Romance Writer
