Names, names, names
Hello everyone! I have a different sort of post today. It’s not a new story. Sorry!

I do get around to talking about The Marriage Bargain, including …
Austen in the Classroom

Something Persuasion-ish
Talk of Persuasion is all the rage these days. 🙂 Whereas P&P calls to mind grand estates and balls and long walks in the prettyish wildernesses of private gardens, when I think of Persuasion, I think mostly of rugged seascapes and of Bath. A few years ago, I wrote a duet of second-chance loves stories …

“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on until I am.” ~Jane Austen So here we are again, readers. Another day, another chapter. Once again, here is 2nd chapter of my work in progress, The Greatest Risk. I’ve thought about your comments and they’ve really helped me identify some …
WIP news: What am I working on?
You’re probably be wondering whether I’m going to give an update on the release date of my third novel in my Dangerous Magic series. Alas, all I can report is that I’m working on it as diligently as possible, and I’ll let you know as soon as I’m sure of the release date. But for …
