The beginning of the first book is totally hokey. Give it a few chapters.

But I've been reading mostly non-fiction these days: biographies and history books.
Really, you're the daughter of a Regency romance writer? How fun it must have been growing up with her! I haven't read the genre, so I can't say I know her name. What has she written, and is it still in publication?

I'm an occasional SF reader, though I mainly read mysteries. I also like biographies. What bios and history books have you been reading lately?
