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.

My P&P Trilogy
There is a certain mystique about a trilogy, and I think most novelists dream of writing at least one – one that’s important, acclaimed… and preferably available as a beautifully boxed set! That was my dream. Actually, when I wrote my first Pride and Prejudice sequel, I didn’t know there would be more. The goal was just to carry Darcy and Elizabeth …
Behind the Mask: “You Are Passionate, Jane” – The Story of a Play
Some years ago, I wanted to write a play about Jane Austen, in which she would have a conversation with another famous author. My choice was Lord Byron, for they were both alive and in England, sometimes even in London, at the same time. They never met, but they knew about each other’s existence. Austen …
Reviewing Hallmark’s “Lovuary with Jane Austen”
I had a lot of interest when I published this post on my own blog (www.shannonwinslow.com), so I decided to give it an encore presentation here, for any of you who may have missed it. These are my reviews of Hallmark’s four featured February films: I was skeptical when I heard of the Hallmark Channel’s …
Snippet from my WIP: An Intriguing Connection
Now that Mr Darcy and the Enchanted Library has been polished and published, I realized that I haven’t given you any updates for some time on my writing progress. Just to reassure you, the FOURTH and FINAL book in Mr. Darcy’s Magic is in progress. It is chugging along very well indeed [to use a …
“Shattered” — a new Elizabeth and Darcy short story (complete)
Happy February 29, that rarest of days! This month’s theme is “Alone Together,” so I thought I’d finish a short story from a few months ago, one that seemed relevant to this theme. But when I read back over the story, I didn’t like it–and so I started anew. The idea for this story is …

Garrett’s suggestion! “The Consequence of Courage” will be available this summer, and I can’t wait for you to devour …

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 …

Fun and Games: a Word Puzzle
I hope you have your wits about you today, because I have a game for you! Or maybe it’s more like a puzzle to solve, using Jane Austen quotes. It was actually part of a “Scavenger Hunt” theme we did here at Austen Variation over seven years ago, but I thought it would be fun …
