Hi Lezlie! How exciting!
If your give-away is open to overseas people as well, then I'd like to enter and am interested in An Infamous Army. I've never read anything by Georgette Heyer before, but you sure make it sound interesting!
Thanks! :-)
Hi, Joanna! I put in the question to my contact at the publisher. I hope the answer is "yes"! I'll add the info to my post as soon as I get it. Thanks for asking. I didn't even think of it!
Lezlie
I'd love to win any of the books really. I've only read two Heyer books but they were both so so so good. But since I have to choose just one, I pick Cotillion.
I'd lvoe to win A Lady of Quality! Thanks so much for running this contest. :)

Could I speak for 'The Black Sheep'. I have only read one on the list, 'Faro's Daughter'. I thoroughly recommend it.Thanks for doing this.
I'd love to read Lady of Quality. I'm not sure if this one is already spoken for, but if so then I'd like to read Faro's Daughter.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
I'd love to win any of them! Please enter me!
They sound like interesting books. I'd love to read any of them! Even if I don't win, this author is going on my TBR list!
Ah well, thanks for asking about the overseas thing anyway Lezlie!
Could you please drop my name in the hat? I have some of these already, but I've not yet bought Faro's Daughter. Thanks (and thanks for leaving the link on my blog!).
Leslie, Thanks for sending me here from Dani's blog. I haven't read any of her novels so it's hard for me to choose. Maybe either False Colours or An infamous Army? I'd be happy to win any really! Thanks for the oppoortunity. Nancy D. in NY
Leslie,
Thanks for offering this! I've been a fan of Georgette Heyer for a few years but have had to rely on the ones I've found at book sales, mostly her mysteries (I recommend Envious Casca). I'd be interested in any of these. Thanks again!
I'd like to win any of them. If i had to choose just one it would be An Infamous Army.

I read Heyer years ago during a crisis in my life - I remember them fondly as wonderful escapism. Unfortunately, I don't remember details about any of them, other than that they were each an excellent read. I'd love to have a chance to read and enjoy them again and, this time, remember them.
I'd love to be in your drawing! I'm having a terrible time choosing, but I'm going to say Lady of Quality...but I'd love to try any of them.
I'd like to win Friday's Child. :)
It's so hard to choose! Um...I think I'll go with "The Royal Escape."
I reviewed Friday's child recently. And I've heard great things about Black Sheep - so that's the one for me. Thanks for this great giveaway!

I'd like to be in the drawing!
I'd like any of them except Friday's Child which I have. I came here from a Lady of Quality, so I'll say that, but any of them really.
Off to explore your site now- I have a Border Collie/Lab mix so I'm anxious to read about yours.
Thanks, everyone, for entering!! I'm off to do the drawing now and will post the winners tomorrow morning.
See you then!
