Lord Harry
Lord Harry, one of my first novels, was originally titled Lord Harry's Folly. I've rewritten the story extensively, adding to and changing dialogue, actions and descriptions, yet the original plot is still here. I'm convinced-and I'm sure your will be to-that the characters are much happier now that they've lived with me for 15 years and taught me more about themselves. Lord Harry is really Henrietta Rolland, a young lady who has assumed the guise of a gentleman to track down and kill Jason Cavander, the Marquess of Oberlon, the man she believes responsible for her brother Damien's death at the Battle of Waterloo. She wants to challenge him a duel. When he's lying at her feet, then and only then will she tell him why she's killed him...
