I&#;m Posting Something!
June 10th,
It&#;s been a while since I&#;ve updated this web page. There are a bunch of reasons for this, but mostly my neglect grew out of the frustration I felt about my publisher&#;s failure to support my Randoms novels. When the third book came out, I was sufficiently irritated that I didn&#;t want to spend the money to have my web designer add a new book to the site. That led to more neglect, and things became a bit run down.
But with a new book coming out, I&#;ve decided to spruce things up. I&#;ve had my designer do an under-the-hood update the site to make it easier to update, and while there are a few elements that need to be tweaked, I expect to have things where I want them over the next week or so.
I&#;ve also decided to get back to posting more regularly. I&#;m the sort of writer who requires input, which means I consume a lot of narrative. I&#;m going to try to make a habit of writing reviews of books, films, television shows, and any other pop culture that catches my interest. The first of these posts will be up soon.

TAB: Many of your novels are set in London in the 18th century. What draws you to London during this particular period?
DL: Only three of my novels are set in 18th century London, but the 18th century in general is a default time for me, and, in total, I have five books set then—six if you count The Twelfth Enchantment, which is in the early 19th century, but still in what scholars would call the &#;long 18th century&#;. I studied 18th-century literature and culture in graduate school, so it&#;s the time I know best and remains a comfortable period to which I can return.
TAB: The East India Company is a malign force in several of your books, ruth
