About the Author

Colette Moody is an avid fan of history and politics. When she isn’t doing research or crafting scenes for her next romp of a novel, she can be found doing one or more of the following: watching classic films; sequestering herself in the kitchen eagerly trying to prove that everything does taste better with bacon; meticulously recreating cocktails from the 1930s and ’40s; or planning her next trip to Disneyland. By day, her alter ego toils at what she fondly refers to as her “crap job.” She lives in Virginia with her very naughty dog and her only slightly less naughty partner of ten years.

 

The Seduction of Moxie
is Colette Moody’s second novel. Her first, also for Bold Strokes Books, was the rollicking pirate tale
The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin.
