Napoleon’s invasion of England is underway and someone at Stranje House is sneaking information to his spies. Lady Jane Moore is determined to find out who it is. If anyone can discover the traitor, it is Jane—for, according to headmistress Emma Stranje, Lady Jane is a mastermind.
Jane doesn’t consider herself a mastermind. It’s just that she tends to grasp the facts of a situation quickly, and by doing so, she’s able to devise and implement a sensible course of action. Is Jane enough of a mastermind to save the brash young American inventor Alexander Sinclair, her friends at Stranje House, and possibly England itself?

It’s 1814. Napoleon is exiled on Elba. Europe is in shambles. Britain is at war on four fronts. And Stranje House, a School for Unusual Girls, has become one of Regency England’s dark little secrets. The daughters of the beau monde who don’t fit high society’s constrictive mold are banished to Stranje House to be reformed into marriageable young ladies. Or so their parents think. In truth, Headmistress Emma Stranje, the original unusual girl, has plans for the young ladies—plans that entangle the girls in the dangerous world of spies, diplomacy, and war.
After accidentally setting her father’s stables on fire while performing a scientific experiment, Miss Georgiana Fitzwilliam is sent to Stranje House. But Georgie has no intention of being turned into a simpering, pudding-headed, marriageable miss. She plans to escape as soon as possible—until she meets Lord Sebastian Wyatt. Thrust together in a desperate mission to invent a new invisible ink for the English war effort, Georgie and Sebastian must find a way to work together without losing their heads—or their hearts…

INTERVIEW
- What is on your nightstand?
A stack of books of course. And a huge jug of water. I can’t be without water or books. I read several things at once depending on my mood. I’m currently reading two mss from author friends. And three books: Heartstone by Elle Katharine White, Lent by Jo Walton, and I just finished a fabulous little book called One Crazy Summer, by Rita Williams.
- What author would you totally fan?
Uh oh, when it comes to authors I’m a total fangirl. I love to read. So, if she was still alive, I’d love to meet the wildly creative Diana Wynne Jones. Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my favorite books and Animes. And then there’s the snarky but brilliant Jane Austen. Of course, I’d probably be too tongue-tied to say anything if I met her. As far as living authors; I absolutely adore Meg Cabot, and since publishing I was fortunate enough to meet her. I have to say she is even nicer in person than I’d imagined, and I have to pinch myself when I’m lucky enough to hang out with her. Also, I’m a huge fan of Ruta Sepetys, and also Libba Bray.
- What makes you cringe?
Not much in real life or fiction. I suppose I wince at plots that are illogical or overly predictable.
- Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
I tried to plot. I really did but it hampers my creative juices for a story. So I sit down every day and wonder where the story will take me next. I’m willing to edit and rewrite if it takes a wrong turn.
- Is there a word you love to use?
Clever. I overuse clever. Shrouded. Don’t you think shrouded sounds mysterious and full of secrets?
Our dog, Teddy, used to sit on my lap while I wrote. I miss him soooo much. Here he is being ever so patient in his Santa garb.
TEDDY
