First and foremost, I’d like to thank each and every one of my readers, particularly those who’ve left comments, fostered discussion, and dropped me emails throughout the year. It goes a long, long way to making me feel I’m not writing blog posts in a vacuum! I’d also like to give a special thanks to Melody of Redeeming Qualities for her amazing reviews, to Ay-leen the Peacemaker of Beyond Victoriana for inviting me to contribute to her stellar steampunk community, to Shire Publications for contributing the many, many titles which have helped to make Edwardian Promenade even more accurate, and to PBS for bringing Downton Abbey (among other programs) to the United States–and for inviting me to co-host a live Twitter chat (keep your eyes peeled on the #DowntonPBS hashtag Jan 9th)!
