Can she really see the dead?

On October 17, 2026

Dearest Readers:

It has come to our attention that a certain young lady has been exiled to Berwcyk Castle. Visiting the Duke and Duchess of Harfort would generally be a boon for anyone trying to be in the good graces of someone so high within Society.

But Lady L seems to be able to see and converse with the dead! Hardly something to be proud of. And, if rumor has it correctly, her mother has sent Lady L to live at Berwyck. Apparently the countess wants the older sibling out of the way to give her younger sister a chance on the marriage mart.

Stay tuned for more information as we receive it. We are, as always, your reliable Teatime Tattler with all the latest news for your reading pleasure.

Sincerely,

An Anonymous Reporter

This short little piece is a hint at Belle Sherry Ewing’s novella Finding My Way To You and is her contribution to the Belles boxset Moonlight Madness. You can learn more about the set at the project tab above. Read on to learn more about Sherry’s story in the set.

Excerpt:

Rolf… his name being called out in a breathy whisper made him rush forward as though God Himself carried Rolf to a room without his consent. Aye! He appeared in his ghostly shape in the bedchamber of who he assumed was Berwyck’s latest visitor to the castle. But he had not appeared here willingly. Nay… ’twas done by a power not of his own making. What kind of magic did this woman possess?

He hovered near the bed to gaze down upon the vision before him. He had seen many women come and go over the centuries from Berwyck’s walls but none had ever had such an effect on him. His heart raced within his chest and he realized he had reached out his hand to stroke her brown hair that had come loose from her coiffure. He closed his fingers to resist the temptation before him. No woman had ever made his heart flutter as though he had found love accept one and even then he had known the lady was destined for another. So why now? Why would the good Lord above send a woman that could make him actually feel something for a lady not of his own world?

“Rolf.” His name repeated aloud once again made him smile to hear the sound of her voice.

He continued to watch the woman before him as she apparently dreamed of him but how did she know his name? He frowned as though trying to remember her from another visit to the castle but he swore he had never seen her before this very moment. Something flashed in his memory of gazing at her standing at the entryway to the great hall but she had not been from the present day. ’Twas improbable that he had met her before now. Or was it?

Finding My Way To You:
The Knights of Berwyck, A Quest Through Time (Book Seven)

When a ghost meets a determined lady, can he convince her to leave the past where it belongs?

Sir Rolf Norwood has been alone haunting Berwyck Castle for centuries. He is bound to the estate after vowing to watch over its descendant throughout time. A chance encounter with a lady who can actually see him makes him wonder if love has possibly found him, although to love her is inconceivable.

Lady Leonora Beckwith is not your typical lady. Her mother has all but disowned her for her ability to see ghosts. Leaving London to live near the Scottish border may give her younger sister a chance to find a suitable match. But upon her arrival, how could Leonora have known that one look at the ghost who resides at Berwyck, would change her fate… and his.

When an impossible opportunity reveals itself, Leonora willingly leaps at the chance to change Rolf’s history because sometimes you to need to follow where you heart leads.

What will the lady do?

By Sherry Ewing

On August 1, 2026

In Sherry Ewing, Teatime Tattler

Lady Prudence Danvers paced the floor of the study, biting her lip in apprehension that the small tidbit of gossip might not be up to par for Samuel Clemons and his notorious Teatime Tattler newspaper.

“Read it to me again, Abigail,” Prudence urged her sister who quietly put down her pencil.

“This will be the fourth time, Prue. If I make any more corrections, I’ll run out of paper and we can hardly afford the cost until we are paid by Clemons,” Abigail scolded.

“But does it sound…” she bit her lip before falling down onto a nearby chair by the hearth… “I don’t know… too harsh?”

Abigail gave a short laugh of disdain. “When has that ever stopped us when the end result will see us well paid?”

“Just read it,” Prudence said leaning her head back on the chair to stare at the ceiling.

“Very well, but this is the last time.” Abigail took a deep breath and began to read:

Dear Esteemed Readers:

The Season is once again in full swing but this bit of tittle tattle is too good to wait for next week’s edition. News has reached me that a certain Duke of S is apparently on the market for a wife since he accompanied a stunning brunette to a recent ball, all but snubbing his ex-fiancé who was also in attendance. We all know Lady A was betrothed to the duke since their parents arranged their marriage at a young age and yet their arrangement is clearly at an end! If what has been reported to me is correct—and you know I only run the most reliable information in the Teatime Tattler—then Lady A will be considered on the shelf and no other man in his right mind will make an offer for her hand now that the duke has rejected her. Such a shame, since she was always considered perfect wife material. I’m sure the Season will continue to be interesting as the duke and the lady continue to ignore each other. You’ll be the first to know when we learn more on what the lady will do next.

“Well?” Abigail asked with a raised brow. “Will it do?”

“Do you think he’ll make changes to it?” Prudence asked, worried that this wasn’t up to their usual standards. “I mean it’s been a while since we’ve offered the editor anything of worth.”

“Samuel Clemons can make any changes he wishes and you know he will. Honestly, what’s gotten into you today? You’re not usually this concerned with what we report,” Abigail huffed in annoyance.

“Maybe we’ve gone too far this time,” Prudence whispered. “Lady Annette has been nothing but kind to us.”

“And she’ll never know we are the ones who offered this piece of gossip to Clemons.” Abigail stood and went to take her sister’s hands. “We’ve been over this before and although I am usually the voice of reason, this time I think we’ll fetch a fine bit of coin for this piece. This involves a duke, after all.”

Prudence shook her head in agreement. “You’re right, of course. Send it off and let’s be done with it until the next time we have something interesting to report.”

This is an original piece by Belle Sherry Ewing regarding her story Waiting for the Duke in the boxset Sizzling Duke Summer. Read on for a short excerpt and to learn more about her contribution and the set.

Excerpt:

John stood at the entryway and saw the lady pulling at the dark drapery to sneak a peek out the window. Having only just been outside to see his father being buried, he knew the day was sunny and that, under normal circumstances, the bright sunlight would have filled this room, making it feel bright and airy. It had been his mother’s favorite room in the manor, and it was a shame that everything had now been covered to observe mourning traditions. The lady would have made a beautiful picture standing there with the sun shining upon her red hair, now covered in a black veil.

He must have made a sound, for Annette turned from the window, offering him a lovely smile that didn’t quite reach her hazel eyes. She had been crying most likely as much as Clara had been because she had also been fond of their father.

“John,” she whispered softly, coming over and taking his hands as she had done a thousand times in their past. She must have realized her mistake because she quickly sank down into a proper curtsey after letting go of his hands. “I mean, Your Grace. I am so sorry for your loss.”

“You are one of the few people who have called me by my given name. You may continue to do so,” he murmured as he ran his hand over the back of his neck. A sudden sense of dread about what he was about to do caused a moment of doubt to race across his mind.

“I’m not sure my brother would approve, given your new elevation in life,” she answered honestly.

“Brothers never do,” he said with a slight smile.

“I really am very sorry for your loss, Your… John.”

“My father’s passing is also your loss, Annette,” he said quietly. “I know how much he meant to you.”

“He was like a second father to me,” she confessed. “With both of our parents now gone from this world, it seems the four of us are all we have now.”

“Is your brother still here?” he asked wondering if the earl would be joining them.

She shook her head. “Edward went to see that our carriage was brought around. He thought it best to give you and Clara some time alone now that the services were over and your guests have left.”

“Perhaps we could have a moment for a private word together before his return,” he said, feeling the weight of the draft hidden inside his jacket.

“Of course, John. If there’s anything I can do to ease your mourning, all you have to do is ask,” she said with another one of those smiles that always seemed to brighten any room. Why was he only just now noticing how truly lovely she was?

He nodded before taking her hand and placing it in the crook of his arm and escorted her over to a settee. Once she was seated, he again had second doubts on what he was about to do, thinking now might not be the best time to set things straight between them. But he didn’t want to marry anyone right now, let alone the lady who gazed at him with such affection. God, he hated to break her heart.

Waiting for the Duke
By Sherry Ewing

When you’ve been rejected, can love find its way back into your heart?

Lady Annette Saxton has known since childhood that she was betrothed to a future duke. John Fawsley is everything any woman would ever want in a husband, but maybe she has only seen what she wanted to see all these years. He seems uninterested in what their parents had prearranged, and Annette worries her future with him might not be secure.

John Fawsley, Duke of Sommer, had always known that someday the dukedom would be his, but he never expected to wear the title so soon. He doesn’t feel ready. Certainly, he doesn’t feel ready to marry! And though he’s always thought Annette was an attractive young lady, she feels like more of his sister’s best friend than a potential wife. Better to cut her loose while he learns the role of the Duke of Sommer, and give her the freedom to marry a more settled man of her own choosing.

Two years later, John’s sister Clara, and Annette’s best friend, arranges a house party in order to put the pair together. Annette remains hopeful that their relationship can be restored while John still wishes to define his life by his own choices. He does not expect jealousy to play a part in Clara’s plan.

Can the differences of two stubborn people be put aside so they can find their way back into each other’s lives?

Lady Smuggler Saved by Handsome Nobleman

By Barbara Monajem

On July 18, 2026

In Barbara Monajem, Historical Period, Regency (19th century Britain), Teatime Tattler

Our intrepid reporter informs us that a young French lady, who recently escaped the guillotine and now lives in Sussex, was caught signaling to smugglers. She was about to be dragged to the lockup by the excisemen when a well-known young nobleman suddenly claimed her as his affianced wife.

Scandalous indeed, but it can be difficult and dangerous to gainsay a nobleman (who, we assume, was in the grasp of foolish lust). However, there’s worse: for the lady was overheard to say she doesn’t want to marry the nobleman at all!

Why, you ask? We don’t know the answer. But what we do know is that a French spy is working on the Sussex coast, sending information to France via the smugglers—the selfsame smuggling gang to which the young lady belongs.

Will she escape her just desserts? Draw your own conclusions…

To make her way in England, French refugee Noelle de Vallon becomes a smuggler. Richard, Lord Boltwood, saves her from arrest, but she cannot trust him. He already broke her heart once. Never again.

Richard is tasked with a mission: to catch a spy. Noelle is the prime suspect. How can he catch the real culprit while protecting the lady who stole his heart and won’t forgive him for breaking hers?

The Smuggler’s Escape is only 99 cents on Amazon for the month of July!

Message From Afar

By Bluestocking Belles

On June 27, 2026

In Teatime Tattler

The Teatime Tattler has it on good authority (Lady Z, currently temporary resident of Rome and long time subscriber of this publication) that odd goings on are occurring. She writes,:

“Odd behavior is as one might expect in this papist kingdom, and one fears that our young men abroad are not always as they should be. One need only look at that Byron fellow. He fled England in scandal and brought his outrageous behavior with him.”

While visiting the offices of one Arthur Wentworth, a “middling sort who is nevertheless the closest thing we have to British officialdom in this city,” she encountered a suspicious character. She might have ignored the man, poorly dressed and shabby as he was, except Lady Z was quite certain she had met him before. In London. Could he be a gentleman underneath all that? Is it a disguise? This thought was further confirmed by his speech, which “insofar as one could hear through the door,” was that of a gentleman.

What man, known to the government agent and familiar from the drawing rooms of London, could be dragging about Rome looking like an out of work laborer. Why would he not make his presence known to the wider English community?

Intrigued, Lady Z has made it her business to keep track of him for us. She last saw him entering a Papist convent of all places with a plain sort of English woman. Shocking!

About the Book, Tattered Honor

Miracles of Love

By Elizabeth Donne

On June 20, 2026

In Bluestocking Belles, Elizabeth Donne, gossip, Regency (19th century Britain), Teatime Tattler

Dear Mr. Clemens,

As your local correspondent in Fenwick has no doubt informed you, our dear little village has been at the center of a miraculous discovery.

Mr. Barnaby Ash, a talented historian, has not only found true love here in our seaside home, but has paved the way for others to do likewise. Thanks to his diligence and the assistance of our own favorite spinster, Miss Joy Tully, a local legend was unearthed and solved.

We shall ignore the prattle about Mr. Ash growing wings and speaking in ancient tongues. That is mere gossip. But the truth is no less strange. According to a manuscript found in a local resident’s library, fae once dwelt in these parts. And one of them fell in love with a human traveler. To celebrate their love, they blessed the waters at a local spring.

As the owner of The Queen’s Barque Inn, I can proudly say that our well stands upon that very site. One has simply to drink from the well to find true happiness with one’s beloved.

Of course, a visit to the well would be impossible without staying on the property where it is found. Grand renovations are taking place to host all the hopeful lovers that make the journey to our isolated village. I assure you, you will not only find your happy ending but will make memories that last a lifetime.

Eager to welcome you,

Henry Brewster, Esq.

The Legend Begins, a novella
