about this book: 'How to Marry Your Wife' has already become an Amazon best-seller for Medieval Romances in the US, UK, and Canada. AskDavid is a wonderful place to continue my promotions!

Many ask me about the title. My editor suggested that it start how-to. I was convinced it could not be done but during a brainstorming session, my husband shouted out and we both said at once, "That's it!"

'How to Marry Your Wife' is the second in the series, but easily stands alone. In it, our hero returns from abroad to learn not only was he presumed dead, but that he has a six year old son. The boy's mother is so thrilled to see him, she comes at him with a knife.

A forced marriage ensues and our hero decides that his new family must travel with him to claim his estates. It's a long ways from London to Hadrian's Wall. Kidnappings, secret tunnels, evil bishops, and saddle sores all get in the way.

If you're expecting a damsel in distress, then you've never read my writing. Our heroine is endearing, wicked with a knife, and clever. It is only when the couple work together, however, that they defeat those that plot against them.

The final scene is a Medieval Christmas, and hints of book three. I look forward to sharing that here as well. Thanks so much for being such wonderful fans!
