'Toll the Dead Man's Bells' and 'The Armitage Chronicles' published

Toll the Dead Man's Bells, book 12 in the Felicia and Robin series.
Robin and Felicia receive a letter from Fanny Rose, the beauty they met on the ship on which they sailed to England. Fanny wrote an impassioned plea for aid, as she has found a man who she wishes to marry, but there has been trouble. Crispin Parsons, the family tutor, still carries a torch for Fanny, and wishes to help her, even though she has found another man.
As Robin and Felicia are about to leave England to take Pernel and the other children to Italy for the winter, they decide to break their journey in Kent, near Canterbury, to look into Fanny’s unspecified troubles.
What they find is a very unpleasant family indeed, and some nasty things going on. A lot of secrets are revealed, regarding Fanny as well as her betrothed’s family.

The Armitage Chronicles  a spinoff from the Jane and Caleb series
  By request, “The Armitage Chronicles” is a deeper look at the romances seen in the background in ‘Jane and the Sins of Society’ as well as a visit to Agnes Fanshawe, an old school friend of Jane’s, who is also mentioned in that book. This book is a collection of three novellas, covering their stories. Laura Finds Love Laura Evans struggles to handle the spite of a prettier girl who makes fun of her appearance and pokes fun at Laura’s other friends. Laura feels her looks would never attract someone like Gerard, Marquess of Falkrington, known to be a heart-breaker, and quickly bored by any female. However, Gerard is about to learn that he is more interested in how much personality a girl has, rather than her superficial looks. The Governess’s New Job It is one of the clichés of romance, that the noble lord marries his governess. However, the novels generally have the courtship before marriage, and do not involve a proposal to save the noble lord’s life by being with child as soon as possible to deter his assassination. Her whirlwind wedding to Michael Strode, Duke Braxtrode, is encouraged by his three daughters, but the family still faces danger. Nessie Fanshawe and the Dastardly Doctor Agnes ‘Nessie’ Fanshawe is less of a poor little dab of a woman than she was when first encountered in ‘Jane and the Opera Dancer’, and is chaperoning her connexion, Emma Kemp, in Bath. However, she cannot stand by when she has some worrying suspicions about a doctor of whom she hears, and turns to her distant cousin, ‘Beau’ Popham for advice.

    I’m going to have such a hard time deciding which one to read first, though... Still! Two books!

    1. Also, your books have been lifesavers this summer. Or maybe I should say “summer-savers”...

    2. I'm really glad to be writing well when you need them. Hehe I may have slowed down on Bess and the Queen [book 2] but I am still writing.

  2. Ooh! How lovely. Two treats at once. Thank you very much. I do hope the publishing process has not been too onerous but, from my point of view, it is definitely worthwhile.

    Thanks again.

    1. Now I'm publishing without the content being up anywhere else, it's a lot easier! also I'm out of my slough of depression in which i was terrified to do anything in case it went wrong, which sounds silly but anyone who has ever had depression is nodding sagely.

    2. I’m so glad the new system is working better and is a more positive experience for you. Long may it continue.

    3. Many thanks! yes, it is nice to have total control, and not to feel guilty keep asking for either reiterations that it's my own work or removal.
