So what's this Pennyroyal Green series about?
The Pennyroyal Green series takes us through the lives, passions,
adventures and misadventures of the denizens of Pennyroyal Green,
Sussex, England, a town anchored by the wealthy Eversea and Redmond
families —whose relations are civil on the surface, but seethe
beneath with ancient secrets and grudges and —naturally —
attractions. :) We'll follow these folks wherever their passions
take them —whether it's London, the gallows, a ballroom,
a bedroom, the high seas, or the Sussex downs. I have major plans
for these people. :) The stories are loosely connected and characters
recur, but not in every book. A number of Pennyroyal Green characters
will get their own stories—not just Everseas and Redmonds—and
each story can be read independently of each other. Collect 'em
all! LOL. The first book in the series is The
Perils of Pleasure. You can find alittle background on
the legend of the town and the origins of the feud between the
Everseas and Redmonds in the prologue of POP, too. :)
Here's a quick Pennyroyal Green series "cast of characters."
When characters are featured prominently in a specific book, I'll
link to the book or make a note of it. This list will grow over
time, may even sprout more branches and family names, and I'll
expound a little more on each character in this space as we get
to know each of them a little better throughout the series.
