Fall 2025 Newsletter
After a busy summer, I sent my twelfth novel off to my editor. A Winter’s Disgrace involves illegitimacy, inheritance, family conflict, and two people escaping very different situations in a snow storm. My favorite lines:
Ryegate snapped, “I’ll be stretched lifeless before I see Frederick in my shoes. You will—” Cyprian nodded gravely. “In strict fact, that is certainly true.” “Damn your impudence,” his progenitor bawled.
A Winter’s Disgrace will probably be out in about nine months. As usual, there is no explicit sex but some humor.
Here are a few of my favorite reads this year. I’m including links because I can’t figure out how to position a picture of the cover beside the title/author. If you know, please email me!

Tidbits from reviews of two of my novels, Most Secret, my second, and A Murder of Convenience, my eleventh:
A Murder of Convenience
“…Buckley has written a book that is both thought-provoking and enjoyable, which makes A Murder of Convenience unique among historical mysteries. 5 stars from The Historical Fiction Company and the ‘Highly Recommended’ award of excellence.” DK Marley, The Historical Fiction Company, March 28, 2025, https://www.thehistoricalfictioncompany.com/post/a-sham-marriage-and-murder-in-a-locked-room-an-editorial-review-of-a-murder-of-convenience
Most Secret
“The extensive research put into the novel deserves commendation. Buckley has taken that research and created a story that resonates with historical accuracy. I truly felt like I stepped back in time while engrossed in this captivating novel.” The Historical Fiction Company https://tinyurl.com/y2pmr6we
