She's on a book blast tour with her release, Betraying Merc y .  Betraying Mercy by Amber Lin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BLURB: Can she be more than a mistress? With a tarnished reputation, Mercy Lyndhurst expected to become the Earl of Rochford's mistress, not his wife.

Over the past six years, William has restored the family fortune all the while tortured by his memories of Mercy…and the dark night he killed a man. When a threat draws him home, William learns just how much has changed—including his wife. While the passion still flares between them, he fears he has wounded her too badly to regain her trust. But as the danger grows they must unite to save the estate…and possibly their marriage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

Over to Miriam... Background to the Novel There have always been different types of Jews – some more observant and others less observant.  Even in the time of Jesus there were the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Today, there are several branches of Judaism ranging from one extreme to the other. The most observant belong to the haredi community (and within the haredi community there are various sects). That’s the one whose menfolk wear black hats and black suits with tassels hanging out. There are others who wear long cloaks that are either black or striped black and white. The women always keep their arms and legs covered, and married women cover their hair. In Israel, they live in certain neighbourhoods and a large number of them live in parts of Jerusalem. The segregation works bo...
