More Christmas!
Some of you know
I wrote a Regency Christmas (non-fiction) ebook called,
Regency House Christmas: The Definitive Guide to a Remarkably Regency Yuletide! It's bursting with illustrations, Regency customs, poems, hymns, recipes and more.
I started this book because I wanted to know exactly what Christmas would have been like during the Regency. I already knew enough to recognize that a lot of other writers were getting it very wrong. So, I buried myself in research and came out with Regency House Christmas. This was a few years ago, before the ebook industry exploded. So it's a PDF, not yet optimal for e-readers. (It can be read on an e-reader but won't have the easy navigation you're accustomed to.)
I keep meaning to update the ebook--they say old habits die hard, and my penchant for collecting information regarding an early 19th Century English Christmas hasn't waned. Therefore, I have much to add. I'm making it a top priority of 2013 to have the new shiny e-book all ready for most e-readers by next year's Christmas season. I wanted to do it for this year, but other writing projects--and life--got in the way.
SO-for right now: If you get a copy of the ebook as is (in PDF) your receipt will entitle you to the new version of the book ABSOLUTELY FREE.* Originally offered for $14.95, it's on SALE for only $9.95.
A FEW of the extras are:
A Regency Feast--Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings, and more--25 pages of historical recipes, quotes and illustrations.
Regency House Christmas Receipt Book-- More Christmas feast recipes that you can freely give away to friends and family. ("Receipt" is the old word for recipe.)
The Prayers of Jane Austen--Did you know that Jane wrote a few special prayers that her father used as part of an Anglican service? They were no doubt read at home around the fire of an evening, too.
Regency Carols--Christmas Hymns of the Day!
English Housewifery Exemplified--173 pages of a 1764 cookbook!
Ho, Ho, Ho Christmas Beverages--an entire ebook with special holiday libations
Illustrated historical stories of the season
And much, much more!

A COMMENT.............just kidding. Your Regency House Christmas sounds great, Linore. I will make sure I share about it. I sure hope you are staying healthy this Christmas season. It seems like the flu is attacking a lot of people. God bless.
Thank you, Deb. It's a great ebook and the bonuses are lots of fun in themselves. We are healthy, thank God, and I pray you stay that way, too, especially through the holidays. Good to hear from you, as always. :)
