Patricia Veryan sets all her novels of Georgian and Regency England in the same universe - so minor characters in one novel become the protagonists in others. She believes in involved family relations, so her readers can participate in that fine old tradition of comparing family trees and looking for distant cousins. And her characters tend to wander (or, more likely, are chased!) over much of the British Isles and parts of France.I am interested in genealogy and geography, and I like making lists (see A Regency Repository if you doubt me on this one!) so naturally I've started making lists as the Veryan mailing list works through Veryan's novels.
This is not a site for the newcomer to Veryan. If you read this site before reading her novels, you'll miss the pleasure and shock of some of her twists and turns in plotting - and that would be a great shame. This site is designed for those of us who have read and re-read her series, and are looking for that elusive name, or are trying to remember which novel had which pets in it.

I am trying a new venture here - setting up a online bookstore in association with Amazon.com. I am, in fact, setting up A Regency Bookstall as part of A Regency Repository - but I finished the Veryan Bookstall first.This includes the paperback release of The Riddle of Alabaster Royal and the hard cover edition of The Riddle of the Lost Lover.
If you're looking for her out-of-print books I have links to booksellers who may have her older books available.
