  Hello, dear Janeites! How happy I am to have a chance to chat with you today about my upcoming book, “The Consequence of Courage,” set for release in early fall.

  Hello, dear Janeites, and Happy Day after Valentine’s Day! I won’t beat around the bush, as I am VERY EXCITED to finally be done with my upcoming novel. Unfortunatley, the title I had settled on needs to be changed, as someone else is releasing a book before me with the same title. BUT, that’s …

Excerpt from “An Unexpected Merry Gentleman”

  Happy Holidays, Janeites! ‘Tis the season of plum pudding, wassail and mince pies (Or in my case, Grape leaves, Eggnog Bundt cake and Peanut butter-peanut butter cup cookies).  We all have those traditions which dictate our events for Christmas—baking Christmas Cookies, making tamales or even pulling taffy. The holidays wouldn’t be the same without …

Excerpt from Chapter 2 of “Ramsgate”

    Hello, Janeites! Happy May! I hope your year has been going wonderfully, and will continue to bring you joy! As a busy mom of three handsome boys (I’m biased, I know), sometimes things get lost in the shuffle, and I go into cruise control. There are things that we know will happen with …

Youthful Fancies-The Adventures of the Gardiner Girls.

  Happy Tuesday, dear Janeites!  As we conclude the month of February, we reflect back on the joys of youth. Oh, to be young again; when one’s greatest concern was if mom had packed a Twinkie or Ding Dong in your lunch. When things were always much more dramatic in your mind than in reality. …
