Rec of the Week:
I have chosen to rec a wrok this week from an author who is not very widely represented among the wider world of the AoS as we know it. Dower House Quadrille by TwoWeevils is based on An Unknown Ajax by Georgette Heyer; G; Lord Darracott, Hugo Darracott, Claud Darracott, Anthea Darracott, Elvira Darracott, Aurelia Darracott, Vincent Darracott, Mike Holmes; "Finding another builder at this late stage will just mean pushing the wedding date back again, and I’ll not be the one to tell Anthea she’s to re-write the invitation cards again!"

Got a link for the next issue? Please comment and let us know. Remember to please tell your AoS friends about us. The more, the merrier, after all! And if you would like to include a particular favourite of yours in Rec of the Week, please leave a comment with a link.

Thank you for the links, esp the Georgette Heyer. Your rec was a lovely read. Darracot is one of my favourites, closely on the heels of Justin Alastair...
