Since in the UK Thanksgiving is not
celebrated in any special way, I decided to go trolling the net for a slightly
different recipe from the traditional.
This one sounds scrumptious.

Multi-published author, Sherry
Gloag is a transplanted Scot now living in the beautiful coastal countryside of
Norfolk, England. She considers the surrounding countryside as extension
of her own garden, to which she escapes when she needs "thinking
time" and solitude to work out the plots for her next novel. While
out walking she enjoys talking to her characters, as long as there are no other
walkers close by.
Apart from writing, Sherry
enjoys gardening, walking, reading and cheerfully admits her books tend to take
over most of the shelf and floor space in her workroom-cum-office. She
also finds crystal craft work therapeutic.
Tagline for Vidal’s Honor
Faced with accusations of
treason, Honor, Lady Beaumont, wonders which she will lose first, her head or
her heart.
Vidal’s Honor Blurb:
When plunged into a world of spies, agents and espionage during the Peninsula wars, Honor, Lady Beaumont, flees for her life when the French capture her husband at Salamanca, and relies on his batman to arrange her safe passage back to England.
Viscount Charles Vidal is
ordered by Robert Dumas, the First Lord of the Admiralty, to travel to Spain
and escort the only woman he’s ever loved, Lord Devlin Beaumont’s widow back
home before the French discover her whereabouts.
Their journey is fraught by
danger, least of all knowing whether they are surrounded by friends or foe.
Will they survive long enough to explore the possibility of a future together
or will whispers of treason be enough to see Honor dispatched to Tyburn first?
Excerpt:
While Vidal joked with his
cousin, the viscount scanned the room. The smell of fine wine, whiskey and
cigar smoke blended into a rich aroma that was as much a part of Whites as the
card games, the background chatter, and outbreaks of lewd laughter from the
younger members of the club.
One member in particular interested Vidal tonight, and he watched Robert Dundas, second Viscount Melville, and First Lord of the Admiralty, take leave of his friends and head in his direction.
One member in particular interested Vidal tonight, and he watched Robert Dundas, second Viscount Melville, and First Lord of the Admiralty, take leave of his friends and head in his direction.
He wondered why the man spent the
best part of the night watching his every move, and paused in the act of
fobbing his snuff box while he waited for the viscount to join him.
“Take a walk with me?” Although
couched as a question, Vidal noted the quiet steel of command in the other man’s
voice. Dundas laid a hand on his arm; a companionable gesture for anyone
interested enough to observe the two men leaving the club together. “I believe
I live not far beyond your own house. I’d appreciate your company, and this is
not the place for such a discussion. ”
With an indolent twist of the
wrist Vidal returned the modish lacquered box, unopened, to his pocket and
nodded agreement. A man’s club was no setting for private conversation, and it
was plain the man wanted to talk about something away from flapping ears.
Together they strolled across
the room stopping to take leave of several mutual friends.

:-) Laura, thank you so much for inviting me here today. And what beautiful roses adorn your site :-)
I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving and w.end, too.
Thanks for visiting us today, Sherry. This sounds like a great recipe, one you could make with chicken, too!
Thanks for sharing today, Sherry. By the way, your cover looks beautiful. I'd love to take a walk with you and listen in on your "conversations"!
Nice to have you here, Sherri. I liked your recipe and am going to try it.
:-) Jannine, Barbara and brenda, thank you all for you warm welcome. When asked to look for a Regency recipe, I had hours of fun, but thought perhaps this one would be a good one for Thanksgiving, but I have already made notes for our own Christmas, too.
Brenda, I agree, the cover artist, Elaina Lee, blew me away with this cover. The heroine's expression is so right for the story, as are the mountains in the background.
Thank you again for having me here.
