Giveaway Time!

May 23, 2023 By Julie Klassen

***Giveaway Has Ended.*** Today, I am happy to give away a set of two autographed novels by sister-Regency author Rachel Knowles. When I last visited England, I met Rachel in person after being acquainted with her for a few years online. (I love the connections we make through social media!) She and her husband, Andrew, showed us around the historic seaside town of Weymouth, Dorset, where they live.

Rachel and Andrew Knowles regularly post interesting articles on their well-respected site, Regency History. I also enjoy following Rachel on Instagram where she posts beautiful photos of historic places in England. You might enjoy following her there, too.

Rachel is also an author, having written a nonfiction book called What Regency Women Did For Us, as well as two clean Regency Romances. Rachel has kindly provided signed copies of her two novels for me to give away. You can read more about the novels here.

To enter, simply comment below and let me know if you have ever read one of Rachel’s books or visited her blog. I will contact the winner by email. US mailing addresses only, please, due to high postage costs. (Sorry.)

Thanks for stopping by today!
