A.S. Fenichel gave up a successful career in New York City to follow her husband to Texas and pursue her lifelong dream of being a professional writer. She’s never looked back.
A.S. adores writing stories filled with love, passion, desire, magic and maybe a little mayhem tossed in for good measure. Books have always been her perfect escape and she still relishes diving into one and staying up all night to finish a good story.
Multi-published in historical, paranormal, erotic and contemporary romance, A.S. is the author of the several series, including Forever Brides, Everton Domestic Society, Wallflowers of West Lane and more. Strong, empowered heroines from Regency London to modern-day New Orleans are what really excites A.S., and that’s what you’ll find in all her books.
A Jersey Girl at heart, she now makes her home in Southern Missouri with her real-life hero, her wonderful husband. When not reading or writing, she enjoys cooking, travel, history, puttering in her garden and spoiling her fussy cat.

As a book bloggin’ and book luvin’ Princess, I’m always curious to find out how authors got the ideas for their books. Can you tell us how you got the idea to write your book?
I wanted to write a series where the friendships between women were explored. I wanted to show how deeply women can care for one another and how fiercely protective we are.
In Misleading A Duke, Faith is determined to discover her fiancé’s secrets and her friends are willing to help her or help her refuse to marry a duke forced on her by her parents.
Can you tell us a little about the main characters of your book?
Nick is a “retired” English spy. He has a lot of secrets. He’s also the Duke of Breckenridge and not used to people questioning his authority.
Faith is angry that she is being pushed toward a man she knows nothing about and she would rather be ruined than married to a monster like her friend Aurora was. So, she devises a plan to ferret out his secrets.
Oh! And there’s a puppy!
If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would that be?
Just hang in there. It’s all going to work out, but it’s going to take a while.
What would you say is one of your interesting writing quirks?
I love the empty page. I love that moment before I put a single word on the page and the possibilities are endless.
I also move around a lot. I write on a laptop and will sit on the porch, the couch in the living room, my bed or almost anywhere but at my desk to write.
Do you hear from your readers? What do they say?
Sometimes, and I love it. Some write to tell me how much they loved a particular book. Some write to tell me they hated something that happened in a scene. I get the occasional question about why I did something to a character. I just tell that person that I only write the book, what happens in it is out of my hands.
What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?
I never look at it this way. If someone has taken the time to try to help me, I see it as a compliment. They must have seen something in the writing to make it worth their while to try to help.
What has been your best accomplishment?
Getting published at all is a huge accomplishment. It’s not easy to write a book. It’s not easy to stick with one thing long enough to finish an entire book. Getting published is beyond hard, at least it was for me.
Do you Google yourself?
Never. Let me know if you find anything. LOL
How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?
I think there are five unpublished but finished books and maybe another handful of starts that never got finished.
Fun question – if you were princess or prince, what’s one thing you would do to make your kingdom a better place?
Everyone would be required to walk in someone else’s shoes for a full day.
Do you have anything specific that you would like to say to your readers?
My readers are so wonderful. I thank them for loving the books, for waiting for the next one and for keeping me on their TBR lists.
Thanks to the Book Blogging Princess for letting me spend some time with you.
Finishing school failed to turn them into proper society ladies. Now these four friends vow to remain single until they find suitors worthy of their love and devotion…
Betrothed to a man she has barely met, Lady Faith Landon calls upon her three best friends—the self-proclaimed Wallflowers of West Lane—to help uncover the secrets of her mysterious fiancé. Her suspicions are aroused when she learns that he has recently returned from France. Is he a traitor to his country? The truth is quite the opposite. Nicholas Ellsworth, Duke of Breckenridge, is a secret agent for the English Crown who has just completed a risky mission to infiltrate Napoleon’s spy network.
After his adventures, Nicholas craves the peace and quiet of the country and settling into domestic bliss with his bride. Until he discovers Faith’s deceptive investigation. How can he wed a woman who doesn’t trust him? But a powerful spark has ignited between Nicholas and Faith that could bring about a change of heart. Faith seizes her second chance to prove to Nicholas that they are a true love match but his past catches up with them when three French spies come to exact revenge. Surviving rather than wooing has become the order of the day.
