Buried Treasure: Deborah Simmons

May 3, 2008

UPDATE: as Michelle Style’s reports looks like The Dark Viscount by Deborah Simmons is already up at amazon… (no cover yet) but WOOT! CAN’T wait! Comes out in October 1, 2008.

first posted May 21, 2006

The Last Rogue by Deborah SimmonsDeborah Simmons is an author I picked up because of All About Romance. They have some great reviews and interviews up on her.

At that point I had never read a Harlequin Historical but picked up The Last Rogue to try. I was glad I did.

The whole series is a delight - The Vicar’s Daughter, The Devil Earl, Tempting Kate, and The Last Rogue. If you can find them, grab them. She also has some great novellas in a few Harlequin Anthologies. The Officer’s Bride is one of my faves and The Brides of Christmas was recently rereleased.

Most of her books are written for the Harlequin Historical line, although the last two were for Berkley and her first book, Heart’s Masquerade, (one I picked up not too long ago) was Avon.
The Brides of Christmas
We haven’t had a new book from Deborah Simmons since, A Lady of Distinction, was published in May of 2004. When I checked in with her to see what she is up too, she told me:

I’ve spent some time working on a contemporary romantic comedy, but haven’t abandoned my historical writing.

Personally I have my fingers crossed her new historical proposal gets picked up but at this point I would be happy to just see her with a new book.
