We're pleased to host the Bluestocking Belles today and share news
of their latest project ~ Mistletoe, Marriage, and Mayhem. The wonderful
thing about this boxed set, aside from fantastic storytelling, is ALL
proceeds benefit the Malala Fund.
The Malala Fund's goal is to ensure all girls have access to at least twelve free
and secure years of quality primary and secondary education. Hats off to
you ladies for such generosity. May this project exceed everyone's
dreams.In this collection of novellas, the Bluestocking Belles bring you seven runaway Regency brides resisting and romancing their holiday heroes under the mistletoe. Whether scampering away or dashing toward their destinies, avoiding a rogue or chasing after a scoundrel, these ladies and their gentlemen leave miles of mayhem behind them on the slippery road to a happy-ever-after.

All She Wants for Christmas
by Amy Rose Bennett
When
confirmed bluestocking, Tessa Penrose, is thoroughly compromised at a
Yuletide ball by Jasper, the Earl of Arlington, she is none too pleased
to have to marry him. But not only her reputation is at stake. Can Tessa
trust this disreputable rogue with a secret she will do anything to
hide? One thing is certain: she dare not trust her husband with her
heart.
About the Author~
Amy
Rose Bennett has always wanted to be a writer for as long as she can
remember. An avid reader with a particular love for historical romance,
it seemed only natural to write stories in her favorite genre. She has a
passion for creating emotion-packed—and sometimes a little racy—stories
set in the Georgian and Regency periods. Of course, her strong-willed
heroines and rakish heroes always find their happily ever after. Amy is
happily married to her own Alpha male hero, has two beautiful daughters,
and a rather loopy Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is a Speech Pathologist,
but is currently devoting her time to her one other true calling—writing
romance.
The Ultimate Escape
by Susana Ellis
On
the eve of her wedding, Julia realizes she cannot marry her fiancé
after all, no matter that it’s been her dream for eight long years. Too
distraught to face him, she follows in her mother’s footsteps and flees
to the future for a brief reprieve. Oliver knows he has bungled things
badly, but he is determined to win the woman he loves, even if he must
travel through time to do it.
About the Author~
Susana
has always had stories in her head waiting to come out, especially when
she learned to read and her imagination began to soar. A former
teacher, Susana lives in Toledo, Ohio in the summer and Florida in the
winter. She is a member of the Central Florida Romance Writers and the
Beau Monde chapters of RWA and Maumee Valley Romance Inc.
Under the Mistletoe
by Sherry Ewing
When
Captain Sander Morledge asks Margaret Templeton to act as the hostess
of his Christmas party (and eventually his household), she never expects
to see the man who once held her heart. Viscount Frederick Beacham has
never forgotten the young woman he fell in love with, and his feelings
swirl like drifting snow at the sight of her. Can the joy of the
celebration and a well-placed Christmas miracle melt their frozen
hearts?
About the Author~
Sherry Ewing picked up her first historical romance when she was a teenager and has been hooked ever since. A bestselling author, she writes historical and time travel romances to awaken the soul one heart at a time.

‘Tis Her Season: A Royal Regard Prequel Novella
by Mariana Gabrielle
Charlotte
Amberly would rather eat a lump of coal for Christmas dinner than marry
the Marquess of Firthley, so when her parents cancel her London Season
in favor of a rush to the altar, the feisty debutante takes
husband-hunting into her own hands. Alexander Marloughe, reluctant heir
to a marquessate, would rather not spend his holiday dashing through the
snow after a flibbertigibbet just out of the schoolroom, but no woman
before Charlotte has ever led him such a merry chase.
About the Author~
Mari
Christie is not romantic--at all. Therefore, her alter-ego, Mariana
Gabrielle, lives vicariously through characters who believe in their own
happy-ever-afters. And believe they must, as Mariana cherishes her
villains, but only loves her heroes and heroines, all of whom suffer
hearts bruised, broken, and scarred long before they reach the pages of
her books. She is a professional writer, editor, and designer with
almost twenty-five years’ experience, and a member of the Bluestocking
Belles, the Writing Wenches, and the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. She
has written two Regency romances, Royal Regard and La Déesse Noire: The
Black Goddess, and will soon release three Royal Regard prequel
novellas and a mainstream historical, Blind Tribute.
Gingerbread Bride
by Jude Knight
Traveling
with her father's fleet has not prepared Mary Pritchard for London
Society. When she strikes out on her own, she finds adventure, trouble,
and her girlhood hero, riding once more to her rescue. Naval Lieutenant
Rick Redepenning has been saving his admiral's intrepid daughter from
danger since she was nine and he was fourteen. Today’s greatest danger
is to his heart. How can he convince her to see him as a suitor, and not
just a childhood friend?
About the Author~
Jude
Knight has been telling stories all her life: making up serial tales to
amuse her friends and children, imagining sequels to books that have
moved her and left her wanting more, occasionally submitting short
stories to magazines and the radio, starting more than a dozen novels
set in different times and places. She has devoted most of the last
forty years to a career in commercial writing and raising a large
family. She wrote and published her first historical romance in 2014,
and now has the wind in her sails and a head full of strong determined
heroines, heroes with the sense to appreciate them, and villains you'll
love to loathe.
A Dangerous Nativity
by Caroline Warfield
The
Earl of Chadbourn he loves nothing better than to care for his fields,
his flocks, and the people who earn their living from the land. Trapped
by his brother-in-law’s death into responsibility for his traumatized
nephew, grieving sister, and an estate gone to ruin, loneliness
overwhelms him. The first-rate husbandry of a neighboring farm and the
woman who runs it draw him like a moth to flame. With Christmas coming,
can he repair the damaged estate and far more damaged family? Dare he
hope for love in the bargain?
About the Author~
Caroline
Warfield grew up in a peripatetic army family and had a varied career
(largely centered on libraries and technology) before retiring to the
urban wilds of Eastern Pennsylvania. She is ever a traveler and
adventurer, enamored of owls, books, history, and beautiful gardens (but
not the act of gardening). She is married to a prince among men.
Joy to the World
by Nicole Zoltack.
Eliza
Berkeley, second daughter of a baron, thought snaring a duke was too
good to be true. And she was right. With her wedding in ruins, and a
stranger as her betrothed, she faces an uncertain future. When Stephen
Huntington, Duke of Norfolk, arrives to catch the imposter who has
proposed in his name, the man has flown. A betrothal to the abandoned
bride may be his best chance at tracking the villain down. His challenge
will be to keep his hunt secret and his heart untouched.
About the Author~
Nicole
Zoltack loves to write romances. When she's not writing about gentlemen
and their ladies, knights, or superheroes, she spends time with her
growing family. She enjoys riding horses (pretending they're unicorns,
of course!) and visiting the PA Renaissance Faire. She'll also read
anything she can get her hands on.

Hey Quills! Thank you for having us! We hope you enjoy our runaway brides!
We're happy to have you, Susana. What a terrific thing you're doing. Best luck on your fundraising.
Lovely post about the Bluestocking Belles Regency Writers’ group.
Congratulations, ladies. I love Regencies and proceeds to the important Malala Fund just make it all that much better.
Congrats ladies and thank you for your contribution
You ladies are doing an amazing thing for girls. Three cheers for your participation and compassion.
I'm looking forward to learning more about your Bluestocking Belles Regency Writers' group.
It is always a thrill to be on EQ. Thanks so much for hosting the Belles. :-) Just to keep everyone up to date, sometime over the weekend, we will pass the $2000 mark in royalties to Malala!
What a fantastic contribution you are making to young women. The stories sound delightful, too, so I'll be heading to Amazon to get my own copy.
