At long last, I am at the final stages of my non-magical WIP, Allow Me to Tell You: A Regency Pride and Prejudice Variation. Writing this novel has been a strange and convoluted process. Originally, it was supposed to be a very short comic novella, part of a series of novellas that started with Longbourn …
Happy Friday, everyone! In honour of this month’s theme, ‘When They Were Young’, I am sharing some deleted scenes from my latest novel, The Truth About Family. It can be very difficult deciding what to leave in or discard when editing, but ultimately, I focused the story on Elizabeth, Darcy, and their friends and relations …
Although I don’t think anybody’s used it yet, the optional theme for this month is “When We Were Young.” So today I have an excerpt of a young Eliza and Colonel Brandon, taken from Colonel Brandon in His Own Words.

Hello everyone! I’m here today with the second in our author interview series, the first being when Christina and I sat down for a chat via Google Docs (it worked for us!). More recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down via Zoom with Jack Caldwell. Jack published his twelfth book Brother of the …
I am delighted to announce that the audiobook for The Truth About Family is now available! The wonderful Stevie Zimmerman narrated it, so you know it sounds amazing. You can find it at Audible. To celebrate, I thought I’d share a scene that is not in the book. I have a fair bit of material …
Celebrate with me! I’ve joined Club 1000! Never heard of it? I’m not surprised, since I just made it up. But I hope you’ll agree that it’s a prestigious honor nonetheless. The Club is for books that have been purchased, read, and enjoyed by enough people to collect at least 1000 ratings/reviews on Amazon, and …
