Welcome to Litsy!

A collection of seven romance novellas set in the fantasy world of the vast island continent of Penruddock. Marigold, Poppy, Rose, Violet, Krysantha, Peony, and Hyacinth aren't just the names of beautiful flowers. They're also the names of the romantic protagonists in seven novellas. These women follow different paths in their pursuit of love and romance; and may experience adventure, danger, conspiracy, comedy, and tragedy on their way to finding a sweet love. For some, it's a first love. For others, a second. In spite of opposition and obstacles that sometimes block their way, they all strive for a love which is sweet and true. Three of the women are commoners. Four are of the nobility. Each in her own way challenges the conventions of her time. Come and meet The Flowers of Penruddock. Also included is the Jane Austen fan fiction fantasy romance novella, "Cousins, One and All," which takes place partly in Penruddock. Or does it?
