The Gauntlet Has Been Scooped Up...

...from the virtual ground where it was thrown in good fun, which means that Yours here has accepted the challenge to write a romance called "Nightingale Time." The title comes from a remark I made, on Candice Hern's discussion board, about Keats writing "Ode To a Nightingale" in May, and how I always call this time of year "nightingale time." When I said I thought it sounded like the title of a bad Regency, one of the site's gracious moderators encouraged me to follow through. So there was the gauntlet, and I picked it up on one condition: that I find a hitherto unsuspected angle. The angle, I am pleased to report, has indeed been found, else I wouldn't be subjecting myself to displaying a WIP in public. The novella is a Regency with a twist that surpasses its subtitle and pays stilted homage to Candice's recent body of work.

What is it? Ah, but you need to click on the link to find out...
