We celebrated on March 18 to mark the Cover Reveal of our Waterloo Anthology, nine stories focused on the great battle and romance.

At the left is the inspiration for my ensemble, black in honor of the dead, velvet for the cool weather in March in Brussels, where we had our own virtual Duchess of Richmond's Ball as seen on Facebook.  

The painting by James Lonsdale, 1815, is a portrait of Lady Anne Hamilton, V&A.

You can review the proceedings on Facebook at .https://www.facebook.com/events/1378988715749564/

Here is the cover -- and no, that is not Tom Cruise, but an equally handsome young gent...whose expression I find apropos -- he is headed into battle and he is in love. His life will be on the line as well as the happiness of his beloved. Yet isn't there a spark of excite-ment there as he contemplates being in the midst of combat?

Below is a detail from the famous panting of The Duchess of Richmond's Ball, held on June 15, 1815.  The artist is Robert Alexander Hillingford and you will learn more about him in a few days, right here.  You can visit this painting at Goodwood House, home of the Duke of Richmond in West Sussex, UK.

These two gallant fellows were my escorts at the soiree, and if they look suspiciously like Eddie Redmayne (L) and James Norton (R), I have nothing more to say except that we had a very good time indeed. Draw whatever conclusions you wish.
Now you are invited to join us for the launch party for our book. So please find our page on FB -- Beaux, Ballrooms, and Battles -- and click on events.  It's all there and lots more including the latest on upcoming activities in Belgium and the UK surrounding the Waterloo Anniversary.
