I am a writer and teacher. My first novel, Rock Bottom, was published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown, in 2009. I am working on a book involving English people during the late Regency who wear breeches, get into trouble in said breeches, and wonder if the clouds will ever part. The Regency loosely spans the period from 1790-1837, and is named after King George III's son, George IV, who, before being the king from 1820-1830, was the Prince Regent, aka, Dude Who Is Essentially King Because the Real King Is Totes Crazy.
