"If you have the ability to manipulate words, you have a responsibility not to mislead your readers, to speak the truth and not to misinform. This means everything from doing meticulous historical research to presenting a balanced view of events. It can sometimes mean arguing both sides, if both have some claim to truth, whether or not you personally have an opinion. It means not reposting a quotation on Facebook unless you’ve double-checked that it’s accurate and correctly attributed. It may even mean admitting that your grammar and English usage need work – and doing that work to correct the mistakes you’ve been making.
In my opinion, anybody who doesn’t want to accept that responsibility, to do the work it implies, to admit his power to influence people and the onus that rests on his shoulders, has no business writing."

My HP Books
A chaste, entertaining Regency novel.
Left with nothing but debts after their father’s death, Anne and Polly Selby have no choice but to let the house and seek employment, bidding farewell to a genteel life. Anne becomes a governess – but is dismissed within weeks, though not before losing her heart to a debt-ridden gamester. Polly, companion to testy, demanding Lady Thrutchbeck, falls seriously ill. Recovering, she finds herself courted by a gentleman she has never met. Does Polly's suitor intend marriage, or does he only want a sympathetic ear for his memories of his dead wife? Will Anne's rake truly reform, or is he merely making empty promises? Is there a chance for their happiness? And what has happened to the mysterious valise mentioned by their father in his last words?
After Waterloo, Captain Newsam thought he'd finished with war.
Then he became lord of Gomersall...
His mother despises him, his sisters need husbands, the estate is ill-run, the servants are insubordinate, and his tenants are lazy. Worst of all, the only woman he wants to marry is widowed Mary Thorpe - but she detests even his name because his rakish brother ruined her family.
He's brave enough to face anything - but how can he succeed?
