Discreet Madness
Description
Four short stories - Four risqué dances through the Regency, as the rules of conduct are bent, broken and kicked aside…
Four Regency ladies - forced by society into an ill-fitting mold. Each chooses to travel a different path; one that leads them toward an unexpected destiny and a lover who can match their strengths with his passion.
Four Regency gentlemen of varying reputations; unattached and uninterested in meeting women who will turn their worlds upside down. Or so they believed. None realize that Fate has a surprise in store for each of them…
And oh my goodness!!! The resulting collisions are funny, joyful and explosively sensual…shaking up the Regency in the most delightful of ways.

Person
British born and bred, Sahara Kelly has enjoyed reading and writing Regency romances for many decades, beginning in her childhood with books by Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland.
Arriving in America with her almost-complete collection of Leslie Charteris' Saint novels, all the original James Bonds, and a passion for Monty Python, Sahara's new life eventually expanded to include a husband, offspring, citizenship, and a certain amount of acclimation to her new surroundings.
She never quite managed to attain a level of comfort with the American way of spelling, however, and creating a Regency novel offers challenges in that regard. So you'll see words that British readers will recognise, but American readers might perhaps find unusual. It's a choice... should one write an English romance using English spelling? Sahara has come around to that belief. She can now enjoy the extra "u" which has always seemed so colourful...
After more than three decades of writing, Sahara enjoys the greater freedom offered to authors by the self-publishing scene and is looking forward to many more such experiences.
Being freed of external controlling restraints has opened doors?for Sahara and many other writers. There are now no impediments; no obstructions barring the path from writer to reader. Which is, in many ways, exactly as originally intended when that first storyteller sat on a rock outside her cave, tugged her bearskin around her shoulders and smiled at her kids across the open fire with the words "Once upon a time..." (or however it sounded a million years ago.)

This is where Sahara shares none of the intimate details of her life, but will present you with a list of books she'd like you to buy so that she can go do research on a beach in Aruba and be pampered with massages accompanied by drinks with umbrellas in them. She'll send you a postcard. Thank you.
When not dreaming of lazing on tropical beaches, Sahara has a modestly active social presence on the Internet. Take a look:
