Weapons of the Peninsular War (video)

FYI: This video is 13:38 minutes long. (So grab a cuppa before you click play 😉 )

A week or so ago, when I was scrolling through YouTube looking for something to watch as I sipped some herbal tea before bed, this video was recommended to me because I’ve watched other History Hit videos. I found the information in this to be quite interesting since I have written stories that reference the Napoleonic Wars.

The story that immediately came to mind was Midnight with Mary (Sweet Extra 2) because the Peninsular War is mentioned a couple of times in it (even though it is a short novelette), and I did a fair bit of research reading before writing that book. In fact, I read about the people and battles mentioned in this video.

Here is the first time the Peninsular War is mentioned. The colonel and Mary have gone to call on a widow and friend of Mary’s to help her. (It’s a rather long excerpt. I hope you don’t mind. 😉 )

Mozart Horn Concerto No. 4 on the Natural Horn

I have been enjoying this month of learning about various instruments that were around during the Regency period and that Georgiana might have at least heard in her fictional lifetime. 🙂 For our last installment of music lessons pulled from Georgiana’s Music Folder, we have the natural horn and a concerto from Mozart. The first video tells a bit about how the horn is played, and the second video has the concerto without interruptions for instruction.

I have never had Georgiana play the horn in a story, nor do I currently have any plans for her to play one. It just doesn’t seem like her sort of instrument. However, I could possibly see her cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam playing it. It sounds like him to me. What do you think?

Below is an excerpt from a story where Georgiana does not play a lead role, but she does play a major supporting role. The in this scene from Christmas in Gracechurch Street, Darcy is once again shopping with his sister, and she is hinting/teasing that she thinks he is more than just friends with Miss Elizabeth.

A Winter Story (Brian Crain cover by Yiruma)

Welcome to a brand new week. Shall we start it with some relaxing piano music and a quote from a story?

How does a fellow tell his pretty new friend that he would like to be more than just friends? That’s the colonel’s dilemma in Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary. He’s quite smitten with his new friend, as you might be able to tell from the quote below.

Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary is a novelette-length sequel to Matching Mr. Darcy. It can be purchased at your favourite retailer or downloaded as part of the welcome library when you subscribe to my mailing list.
