I have a friend who is absolutely Melissa/Honey. Are any of your books on tape? Sadly she is not much of a reader. I'm on my second reading of "The Little Lady Agency". Thank you for the dose of class, charm and etiquette. Linda I LOVE the Little Lady Agency series! I have a friend who is absolutely Melissa/Honey. Are any of your books on tape?

Here, the bride tosses her bouquet, then the groom removes a decorative lacy garter from her leg (sometimes with his teeth, for the really classy couple :-P) and tosses it to the single men. Bouquet-catcher and garter-catcher then have to dance. (Or sometimes just pose for a picture together. The rules are fluid.) Is throwing the garter just an American tradition, then?

Can't wait! My daughter and I always buy the American editions if they come out first, rather than waiting for the UK ones. I’m so excited to hear about The Honeymoon Hotel. Can’t wait!

I loved it! I think I enjoyed it even more than the honey series! I loved how you included all those little points on how to be a better lady... I'll definitely be taking that advice to splurge on the secret details that make you feel glamorous. My only wish was that we had more Jamie time! I enjoyed their relationship.

Congratulations to you and your mother on your successes. This reminds me so much of the Tregony Heavy Horse Show in Cornwall, an annual fixture in my family's calendar for many years: http://www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/pictures/GALLERY-Tregony-Heavy-Horse/pictures-16700282-detail/pictures.html#axzz2bTnQd9Yk Our favourite events were the one time they ran a "Handy Donkey" event (you can imagine), and the time all the sheep escaped from the sheepdog demonstration.

When I got home to Canada, I found and devoured the 'Honey' series in record time. Looking forward to your newest work when I can get my hands on it!

Is there actually such an enterprise. When I first read it I always thought what a super job to have and would be wonderful if it were viable.
