The Spy You Don’t See Coming A closer look at Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 2 Some characters arrive quietly. They don’t announce themselves. They don’t command attention. And yet, the moment they step onto the page, everything begins to shift. That’s the role a certain prince plays in Volume 2. ⸻ When One Person Goes Missing At the end of the first volume, everything is already unraveling. The danger isn’t theoretical anymore. It has a name—a man willing to experiment with something no one fully understands. But Septimus, a member of the team, is missing. Instead of an investigation, the team must urgently search for their lost, but time begins to feel like the enemy. ⸻ A Man Alone While the others scramble to find him, Septimus is left to endure something very different. He is injured, isolated, and moving through a world that is no longer predictable. There is no safety in skill, no careful planning to rely on. He only has his instincts and endurance. He is determined ...

If you’re new to my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series, welcome! This Christian historical fiction series blends the charm of a clean Regency romance with the excitement of espionage and mystery. You’ll find clever heroines, slow-burn romance, and twists of danger—all set in a faith-infused, richly detailed world. For the cover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 2: Berserker , I chose a model to represent one of my favorite characters—Mr. Septimus Ackett. He’s quiet, lean, and has a subtle intensity that made this Regency-era spy the perfect visual for this story. The model’s name is Andrey, and you can see the original stock photo here . Why Septimus for the cover? Because he has a rough time in this volume, and I wanted to highlight his journey. He’s injured and trying to get back to his team, who is also frantically searching for him. Meanwhile, the enemies are circling. Here’s the back cover description: Part two in a Christian Regency suspense series with slow-burn romance and a su...

Why I knit this shawl: I wanted to knit the sunset-colored shawl Keriah was wearing in chapter 5 of my book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 2: Berserker , so I looked for an antique pattern that might have been used during the Regency era. This one caught my eye, even though it was published in a knitting book a few decades later than the Regency era. The Spider-Net border pattern was most definitely in use in the Regency period, but it’s also remotely possible that the Alice-Maud stitch and the lacy border stitch patterns were also in use during the Regency, being passed on from knitter to knitter via hand-written receipts, by verbal instruction, or with knitted sampler squares (like how many Shetland lace patterns and Bavarian cable patterns were shared). My/Keriah’s version of this shawl would have been lacy but warm because it is knit with fingering yarn on small needles. Since Keriah was cold, I think she would have grabbed this shawl rather than something more elegant and airy. ...
