Romance – Elisabeth Hobbes Writes History

Excerpt time and a bundle of nerves.

It’s just over a month until Dance with the Fae comes out. Usually I’m gearing up to do social media posts and blog tours but this time I’m adrift because at the time of querying, the organiser wasn’t sure the bloggers who take part on Twitter would be posting elsewhere. It’s a bit nerve-racking asContinue reading “Excerpt time and a bundle of nerves.”

A gift for a dryad

I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend and not rushing about too much finding last minute gifts. Doing my shopping reminded me of the scene I wrote in The Promise Tree when Edwin takes Drusilla a present. What do you get a 200 year old dryad for Christmas? “I brought you a gift.” HeContinue reading “A gift for a dryad”

My Fair Lord and My Autistic Lady

In my author letter for My Fair Lord I shared some thoughts on Florence’s autism. Florence Wakechild speaks forthrightly to the point where she is considered rude.

Cover reveal – Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight

My next book, Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight is out in June (though subscribers to Harlequin or Mills & Boon’s reader subscription service will get it in May).

Everything about it is perfect, from the misty, gothic atmosphere to the characters – including one very importantContinue reading “Cover reveal – Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight”

Meet Roger- cover reveal

I love getting covers through. There’s always a slight anxiety that the model or scene won’t resemble anything in the book but so far (Saxon’s black hair aside) I’ve been very pleased with mine. The cover for Redeeming the Rogue Knight was particularly important because it was my first book that was linked to aContinue reading “Meet Roger- cover reveal”

Romance on the Road

‘I’m glad I caught you, Elisabeth. I’ve got a proposal for you…’ Words to stir anyone’s heart. In this case not from Tom Hiddleston (I keep hoping) but the librarian at Macclesfield Library where I do my Tuesday morning writing session. She asked me if I would be interested in taking part in the RomanceContinue reading “Romance on the Road”

It’s the season of romance (unless you’re cynical and Northern like me). To celebrate Valentine’s Day Harlequin are running a giveaway with a difference. All the authors taking part are giving away a copy of one of their own books and a secret surprise title by another author. I’m giving away a copy of TheContinue reading “Valentine Giveaway”

Things that aren’t romantic.

My husband and I have an ongoing debate about whether certain things are romantic or not (buying flowers, meals out, taking your own wine glass to the kitchen at bedtime…) One of our occasional disagreements is over the Roy Orbison song ‘Drove All Night’. For anyone who doesn’t know the song it’s about a blokeContinue reading “Things that aren’t romantic.”
