Has anyone read her historicals? I've been trolling the Kindle books today and found someinteresting titles available through KU under the Deryn Lake name, and it took some GR sleuthing to realize these were older titles published under the Dinal Lampitt name. I feel like a kid in the candy store, some look very intriguing.
At the Amazon link above, does the dress on the cover of To Sleep no More look like the red dress from the girl with the pendant?

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

I don't recognize the red dress, but the style says middle Europe late 1500, and the story is Edward III -- 1300. Sutton Place has a dress the could be anything from 1700 to 1800 (skipping the regency period) but the story is set 1000.
The King's women, circa the French Revolution, but the story is set late 1300s.
Cover artists aren't paid to research the story.

I think the red dress has been seen in the dejavu thread, but I haven't looked at it and the others side by side yet.

They sound pretty good, and it looks like a couple are time slips. I downloaded As Shadows Haunting. Also have a couple of Emma Drummond titles borrowed from KU.
