THREE FRENCH HENS, Linore Rose Burkard

Hello, Whispers in Purple readers. Are you ready to take a break from all your busy preparations for a quick, fun short Christmas read?

Then let me present to you author Linore Rose Burkard.

Book Title : 3 French Hens: A Short Historical Romance 

"Three French Hens is the perfect introduction to this author for new readers and a wonderful addition for existing fans. It has all the elements Linore's readers love: characters that jump off the page, authentic period research, costume drama and, of course, romance. Not to be missed."
Teresa Slack, Author of Streams of Mercy 

Young Mademoiselle Christine D'Ornay and her family have fled from France to England, seeking safety from the Revolution and “Madame La Guillotine." At her first Assembly ball, Christine meets the dashing and elegant Lord Russell. But the lives of French aristocrats are cheap in an age of betrayal, and Jacobites are on the prowl. 

Can Christine and her family trust this new friend, or is Lord Russell the enemy they fear most? 

Dangerous secrets must be guarded, but hope is found when love enters the scene.

Linore Rose Burkard ~ Forever, Lately ~ Book spotlight

 Hello, all, it's

 Today's guest is

author Linore Rose Burkard, featuring her newest release, Forever, Lately

The stage is yours, Linore

I wanted to write a Regency time travel for years. When I saw the movie “Kate and Leopold” with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman I thought, Oh no! Someone used my idea! 

But I needn’t have worried. Leopold was a Victorian gentleman, not from the Regency, first of all, and secondly, though I enjoyed the flick, I kept thinking it missed so many opportunities for humor. (Having written a screenplay since then, I realize now why it missed so many; tight scripts just don’t have room for all the scenes that could be fun.)

When I wrote my story, however, not only was it fundamentally different, but I was able to include a lot more humorous scenes than a screenplay…all the ones that had been floating around in my head for eons. So this is why the book is a lot of fun to read—particularly when the Regency hero shows up in the present day. 

On a side note: I started this book years ago and then dropped it, mostly because I wanted to write it as a Christian romance like my other Regencies. But I kept running into roadblocks. And Christian publishers weren’t interested in time travel. Finally I realized I had to let God out of MY box and write the story He was giving me, not the one I thought He should give me. After that, it came together remarkably easily, and I think in a very fun way. Due to reader interest in a sequel, I’m now brainstorming that book.
