Lady Montfort has been planning her annual summer costume ball for months, and with scrupulous care. Pulling together the food, flowers and a thousand other details for one of the most significant social occasions of the year is her happily accepted responsibility. But when her husband’s degenerate nephew is found murdered, it’s more than the ball that is ruined. In fact, Lady Montfort fears that the official police enquiry, driven by petty snobbery and class prejudice, is pointing towards her son as a potential suspect.

Taking matters into her own hands, the rather over-imaginative countess enlists the help of her pragmatic housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, to investigate the case, track down the women that vanished the night of the murder, and clear her son’s name. As the two women search for a runaway housemaid and a headstrong young woman, they unearth the hidden lives of Lady Montfort’s close friends, servants and family and discover the identity of a murderer hiding in plain sight.

In this enchanting debut sure to appeal to fans of Downton Abbey, Tessa Arlen draws readers into a world exclusively enjoyed by the rich, privileged classes and suffered by the men and women who serve them. Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman is an elegant mystery filled with intriguing characters and fascinating descriptions of Edwardian life—a superb treat for those who love British novels.

A Party for Winston, the second book in the series to be released in January 2016.

Praise for Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman

“Tessa Arlen has a worthy debut with Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman. With a deliciously gruesome murder and an unlikely pair of sleuths, this is a treat for fans of Downton Abbey who will want to devour it with a nice steaming pot of Earl Grey.” —New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn

“In her debut novel, Tessa Arlen weaves an evocative tale of the passions, loyalties and ambitions that divide and unite two classes, upstairs and downstairs, in a stately home. She instantly transports the reader to Edwardian England.”—Christine Trent, author of Stolen Remains

“A dash of noblesse oblige sparkles between the upstairs/downstairs world of Lady Montfort and her housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, as they work together to unmask the identity of a killer at large on the Montfort’s country estate. As sharp as a Nancy Mitford novel, Tessa Arlen’s sophisticated Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman deserves its place among the Great and the Good of classic mystery.”—Lyndsy Spence, founder of The Mitford Society and author of The Mitford Girls’ Guide to Life.

“Thoroughly enchanting. Arlen’s debut will appeal to fans of Downton Abbey, with its vivid descriptions, firm grip on the intricacies of the time period, and skilled portrayal of the often complicated relationship between upstairs and downstairs.” —Anna Lee Huber, author of the Lady Darby mystery series

Mina's Bookshelf 2014: A Year In Reading

 

Farewell, 2014! On a personal level, I have never been happier to turn the page, so to speak. As far as Mina's Bookshelf goes, I am saying goodbye to a wonderful year of book blogging: my profound gratitude to all those authors who graced my blog with their enthralling interviews and guest posts, to the publicists and tour organizers who provided excerpts and material for reviews and giveaways - you made my 2014 exciting, unforgettable, and absolutely gratifying.

 

A heartfelt 'thank you' to my fantastic readers: my gratitude goes to 92,000+ unique blog visitors and 5,800+ followers across my social media venues.

 

To all, health, happiness, and prosperity in 2015 and always!

Mina's Bookish Resolutions for 2015

  

As we approach the end of 2014, about half of the population will spend some time reflecting on what needs  to change in their lives and how to follow through on those changes. Family and self-improvement seem to be the most popular new year's resolutions (spending more time with loved ones being the #1 goal, immediately followed by exercising more, losing weight, and quit smoking). According to a Forbes article though, only 8%  of people achieve their new year's resolutions: why does just a tiny fraction of people succeed at goal-setting and what is their secret? Well, there is a scientific explanation for nearly everything, including success and failure.

Behavioral psychologists claim that your chances to stick to your vows will dramatically increase if you keep your bucket list short and simple. In a nutshell, be realistic, prioritize, be specific, and chart your goals. Screening your improvements, using vision boards, personal diaries, or simply sharing your achievements with friends and family, will definitely boost your confidence and fuel your determination.

Spending time with loved ones is a lifetime resolution for me. Family is and will remain my #1 priority in 2015 and beyond. So, what else is left for a 43-year old girl with a booklover heart, a body shape she is completely satisfied with, and two kids that keep her more active than a personal trainer ever could? Books, of course. A sensibly short, easily attainable to-read list.

Here's my bookish resolution for 2015. Best wishes of a Happy New Year, from my bookshelf to yours.

In this richly told story where Sliding Doors meets P.S. I Love You, Kristin Harmel weaves a heart-wrenching tale that asks: what does it take to move forward in life without forgetting the past? THE LIFE INTENDED is coming up in a few days (December 30) from Gallery Books.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Garden Spells comes a story of the Waverley family, in a novel as sparkling as the first dusting of frost on new-fallen leaves... FIRST FROST (Waverley Family #2) by Sarah Addison Allen will be released by St. Martin's Press on January 6, 2015.

In this darkly imaginative debut novel full of myth, magic, romance, and mystery, a Princeton freshman is drawn into a love triangle with two enigmatic brothers, and discovers terrifying secrets about her family and herself—a bewitching blend of Twilight, The Secret History, Jane Eyre, and A Discovery of Witches. WILDALONE by Krassi Zourkova is to be released on January 6, 2015 (William Morrow).

In LILLIAN ON LIFE, Alison Jean Lester has created a brutally honest portrait of a woman living through the post-war decades of change in Munich, Paris, London and New York. Her story resonates with the glamour and energy of those cities. Charming, sometimes heartbreaking, never a stereotype, Lillian is completely herself; her view of the world is unique. You won't soon forget her. Due on January 13, 2015 (Putnam Adult)

A compulsively readable, emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller that draws comparisons to Gone Girl, The Silent Wife, or Before I Go to Sleep, this is an electrifying debut embraced by readers across markets and categories. THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN by Paula Hawkins will be release on January 13, 2015 (Riverhead).

 

CSI meets the Age of Reason with a well-drawn, intriguing cast of characters (Karen Harper) in Tessa Harris superbly plotted historical mystery series, featuring eighteenth-century anatomist and pioneering sleuth Dr. Thomas Silkstone. Due on January 27, 2015 from Kensington.

Maya, who appears in the title story and again in various states of love, forms the spine of this linked collection, and shows us through her moments of pleasure, loss, deceit, and kindness just how fickle the human heart can be.  SINGLE, FREE, MELLOW, a collection of short stories, will be released by Knopf on February 3, 2015. 

'A sumptuous, page-turning account of William Shakespeare's muse in 1590s England...'.  Inventive and absorbing, The Tutor is a masterful work of historical fiction, casting Shakespeare in a light we’ve never seen. THE TUTOR by Andrea Chapin will be released in hardcover, e-book, and audio format on February 5, 2015 (Riverhead Books).

A SPOOL OF BLUE THREAD, coming up February 10, 2015 from Knopf.

Based on actual attempts to assassinate Queen Victoria, INSPECTOR OF THE DEAD by David Morrell brilliantly merges historical fact with fiction, bringing a bloody chapter of Victorian England to vivid, pulse-pounding life.  (Mulholland Books, March 24, 2015) 

 Kim Michele Richardson's lush, beautifully written debut, is set against a Southern backdrop passing uneasily from bigotry and brutality to hope. With its compelling mystery and complex yet relatable heroine, LIAR'S BENCH is a story of first love, raw courage, and truths that won't be denied. Coming up from Kensington on April 28, 2015.

The stunning companion to Kate Atkinson's #1 bestseller Life After Life. In her new novel, A GOD IN RUINS, Atkinson tells the story of Ursula Todd's beloved younger brother Teddy--would-be poet, RAF bomber pilot, husband, and father--as he navigates the perils and progress of the 20th century.

Love always,

Mina

NIXON AND DOVEY by Jay W. Curry: Spotlight & Author Guest Post

Please join Jay W. Curry on his Blog Tour with HF Virtual Book Tours for Nixon and Dovey

 

NIXON AND DOVEY

by Jay W. Curry
Publication Date: November 14, 2014
Smashwords eBook: 369p ISBN: 978-1-3117280-3-6
Genre: Historical Fiction

   

Before he met Dovey, it was just a heated feud. Now, in the backdrop of southern antebellum slavery, it’s a deadly game of passion, murder, and revenge. Facts: In 1818 Nixon Curry became entangled in one of the most sensationalized murder/love stories in early American history. As a result, Nixon Curry became arguably the most notorious and widely publicized criminal in America’s first half century. His fame derived not from the brutality or number of his crimes but from the determination of the Charlotte aristocracy to hang him. His remarkable talents, undying love for Dovey Caldwell, and the outright audacity of his exploits made him an early American legend. Story: Set in the antebellum south of North Carolina, Nixon Curry, a talented son of poor Scot-Irish immigrants, accepts a job at a racing stable. Soon, his riding skills rival those of his mentor, Ben Wilson. The fierce rivalry becomes confrontational when Ben frames Nixon’s childhood, slave friend, Cyrus, for the Caldwell plantation fire. When both Nixon and Ben win invitations to the 1816 Race of Champions, the stage is set for an explosive faceoff. During prerace festivities, the dashing, young Nixon meets the beautiful Dovey Caldwell, daughter of the state’s wealthiest and most influential senator. Finding Nixon unworthy of Dovey’s affection, Senator Caldwell betroths his daughter to Nixon’s nemesis, Ben. The announcement sets in motion a clash of cultures, talents, and passions leading to murder, mayhem, and revenge. How far will Nixon go to have his love? What price is he willing to pay and what will be the consequences?

Why I had to Learn to Write Well

 

By Jay W Curry

 

I grew up in “Small Town America”, Stigler, Oklahoma, located some sixty miles west of Fort Smith, Arkansas. During the ‘60s, It was a wonderful place to grow up. And, generally, it was a good place to start one’s education. In high school, when it came to scholastics, I qualified as a “good” student in a class of incredibly smart kids. I made straight A’s except English and typing.  English was my nemesis.  My writing skills were just awful. In fact my mother, who later became the first woman president of the local school board, would check over my work once in a while.  When it was an essay or some from of writing, she would hand it back and say, “You need to re-write it from scratch. It makes no sense.” In elementary school I did well because I could spell, well, kind of spell.  You see, I would bribe my younger brother to help me prepare for spelling tests. I would run a nice warm bath, lay back, place a warm, wet washrag over my upper face, and relax while Vel tested me, over and over. I became a very accomplished memorizer and made B’s.  In high school my sentences rarely made sense. Creative thoughts and ideas?  I had plenty. Put them on paper? Bad news.  This flaw dogged me long after graduating from Stigler High School and almost cost me my career.  

Overcoming my writing skills would become a turning point in my life.

After completing my Masters, I received an enticing call from one of the world’s largest financial auditing firms and I became a management consultant. Consulting was about helping business leaders be more productive and profitable.  I loved it and knew it would be my lifelong, dream occupation.  

Then reality set in. After three years of consulting, I was up for promotion.  

During our annual evaluations my boss set me down and said:  “Jay, you are a good consultant. Clients love you, but your report writing skills are horrendous. We wouldn’t dream of having you write a proposal. I don’t see any way you’ll ever be promoted with your writing skills.  We want to find you a good leadership position with one of our clients.”  

Obviously crushed, I couldn’t argue the facts.  Still, I loved this work, and I was determined to succeed. After two sleepless nights and heart-searching days, I returned Monday and said I wanted to stay for one more year and show what I could do to improve my writing skills. Management agreed.  They had no problem using my consulting skills for another year, but had no faith that I would ever be promoted.

I enrolled in a nonfiction-writing course at Tulsa Junior College.  Taking the challenge seriously, I worked hard.  Next, I took a fiction course.  I figured what the heck, half of our proposals are nearly fiction anyway; it might help.  My writing improved. In a statewide contest I won an award for my short story. The next year I won again for a memoir about my youngest son’s birth.

That’s when Linda Christy, a writer’s club member, approached me.  She discovered that Prentice Hall, one of the world’s largest publishers, wanted books about computers, especially microcomputers.  For my PhD thesis, I designed and built a microcomputer from scratch. Ok, it was a well-designed bird’s nest, but I learned microcomputers inside and out. Working with Linda, I discovered that I could write and make sense. I had learned that my thought processes overran my writing skills and that I needed to think through my ideas, then take the time to construct the message.  This new process was difficult for me at first, but we had fun writing the book, and when we sent the completed manuscript to Prentice Hall, they bought it.  

The ABCs of Microcomputers was a best seller. Reviews described the book as a clear presentation of new technologies, easy to read and understand.  Because of the clarity of the writing, high schools all over the US, the book became a book-of-the-month club selection.  After being translated, it also sold well in Asia and Europe.  Ok, so it was simple basics, and in today’s world a third grader knows more than what we discussed, but in those early days of personal computers, it was a hit.  After such success, I wanted to do a professional series on managing a company’s computer resources.  I wrote a proposal for a four book series, and Prentice Hall bought the idea.  

About this time, a talented newcomer to Arthur Young’s consulting group, Dave Bonner, expressed an interest in eventually retiring to teach college and write books.  I suggested he join me in writing the four books. We made a good team while collaborating on a methodology for buying software. Teaching is the best way to learn, and I learned from Dave while applying many of my new writing skills. We wrote How to Find and Buy Good Software, and the book was more successful than the ABC’s book. The topic was more professional, the writing was very good and our presentation made a difficult topic simple. Next Dave and I wrote Up and Running, An Implementation Cookbook which was equally successful.  Soon I found myself traveling around the country speaking on Technology Trends.  

I loved the new experience.  Speaking to a large, well-educated crowd required the same basic skills as writing clear and dynamic stories. I would speak on how the microchip shrank in size every year while costs were dropping like a rock. (This is the early 1980s.)  I predicted within ten years microchips would be found in everything electronic.  Every home would have at least one computer, maybe three or four, and every office desk would include a microcomputer.  People chuckled.  Next, I predicted microchips would soon appear in our watches, control our cars, and even monitor our life systems from within our bodies.  People laughed.  No one believed me, but they enjoyed the colorful images I created, and they laughed at my stupid predictions.  

One evening, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, I spoke to a local CPA organization.  After the speech the Chief Financial Officer of Phillips Petroleum asked me to give the same presentation to the Phillips’ executive team. Arthur Young (now Ernest and Young) was engaged to deliver the presentation to every employee of Phillips, worldwide.

I spent a year in night school learning the rules of writing, learning how to organize and clearly communicate ideas, and practicing every day and every night. In the end, Linda and I wrote a very successful non-fiction book and some twenty magazines articles. I wrote two award winning short stories. Dave and I created two well-organized, well-written, and highly successful books. As a result of my new writing skills, my glaring flaw had become a major asset, and I was promoted to Manager!

In high school, I showed no interest in English or writing. I saw no application for writing skills as a mathematician or scientist. I failed to recognize an important truth: Communication skills, written and verbal, are essential for any human endeavor, great or small.  

I’ll never regret the effort I had to make. I almost lost my career path because I had creative ideas that could not be communicated without clear, logical writing.  In the end, attacking my glaring weakness head-on allowed me to continue my career while writing became a corner stone to my future both in my chosen occupation and in my personal life.

This is an extract from one of Jay’s works-in-progress titled Love’s Fate; Growing Up in Small Town America. Jay Curry’s latest work, Nixon and Dovey; the Legend Returns, is a full length novel about Nixon Curry, Jay’s great-great-great-great uncle who was arguably the most notorious and widely publicized criminal in America’s first forty years.  Nixon and Dovey is available on most e-readers.
