The Victorian Equivalent...

Hey from both of us. Yep - Leda Swann isn't one person, it's two. Our real names are Cathy and Brent, and we live in New Zealand, just a stone's throw from the ocean. We are real life partners as well as writing partners. In fact, we are running off to the Cook Islands to get married in October, so have a glass of champagne and celebrate with us :-) Our new book with Avon Red is PARLOR GAMES, set in the Victorian era, a period we find interesting for its juxtaposition of forthright morals with a not so well hidden erotic undercurrent. PARLOR GAMES was formed when we looked at the things people do today to entertain themselves of an evening, with video games and TV providing for different realities to escape into. What, we wondered, would a Victorian equivalent be? A place where games are played to escape everyday life, thus PARLOR GAMES.
