Frequently asked questions

All my books are available everywhere books are sold. If they are not physically at your favorite bookstore, you can easily order them, either in person or online. I highly recommend shopping local if you can! 

My next book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord, publishes November 14, 2023, and is available for pre-order now.

I'm happy to say my books are in many libraries. If it's not, you can absolutely request them (and thank you for doing so!). They are also available in audiobook and e-book forms. 

My Ancestry Detective series was written under S.C. Perkins. Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord, and all future books, are and will be written under Celeste Connally.

Yes! If you are local (within an hour of Houston), I would love to come to your book club. Please see the Contact page for information on contacting me. If you are not, I'm just as happy to speak with you via Zoom or the like. I also do Facebook book club chats as well. Update as of Aug. 2021: I am only scheduling book club and other speaking engagements if they are virtual events. I hope to be able to change this requirement soon! 

I'm represented by two lovely agents, Christina Hogrebe and Jess Errera at Jane Rotrosen Agency. 

Unfortunately, no. I'm fascinated by genealogy and have learned some great information in my research, but I'm more of an armchair genealogist than a professional. I highly recommend contacting your nearest genealogy library or local library for contacts regarding genealogists. If you want to do it yourself, I recommend starting at the National Archives website for some great tips and information. https://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord, my first historical mystery set in Regency-era England, is available for pre-order now and publishes November 14, 2023, from Minotaur Books!
