Huge apologies for disappearing so abruptly last night - I could say that my dashing hero carried me off in his arms, but...<br /><br />I have a really serious problem with my computer and risked losing everything by staying on! It is having to go in to my friendly repair man to be cleaned up and restored. Have sneaked on to husband's at the moment to leave this message.<br /><br />Thank you so much again to my lovely hostesses and dear Oliver for giving me a wonderful Regency evening. And thank you very much indeed to all my fabulous guests. Janice, I see you're still going strong!<br /><br />And so to the winner of an e-copy of Dangerous Deceit. Husband helped me choose a random name and the winner is... Killarney! Hope you enjoy the book. I might wait until after my own computer has been fixed to email it you, Killarney, if you don't mind waiting a few days.<br /><br />I do hope I haven't left you with too much clearing up, or sleeping guests. My carriage awaits to take me out for the afternoon, so I shall say thank you again and, to use one of our Scottish expressions: Haste ye Back!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-60224183290740041752011-06-25T08:13:23.372-03:002011-06-25T08:13:23.372-03:00Good morning Janice
