Good morning, dear readers! I hope you enjoy revisiting one of my favorite posts from a few years ago. I have updated the game at the end and can’t wait to see your new comments below. Happy Thursday! To love and appreciate something, you really have to understand it; understand the layers, …
Happy spring! As I write this, we’re digging out from the most snow we’ve gotten all winter, so I’m all about this “rebirth and rejuvenation” theme! (Note: I originally wrote this post in early March. The end of March has actually been quite lovely here…except today it’s snowing again!) Because I had no idea what …
I’m currently revising a section from the ending of my novel, and as I was reading it one last time, it brought tears to my eyes. I must admit, I do like the journey D&E go through in this novel. I think they find out a lot about themselves as well as each other. Are …
Hello everyone, I would have like to put up some pictures of blossoms from my area in Surrey, but alas, spring has sent us a mixed bag of snow and cold winds, so there’s no chance of it. But at least this section of the WIP has a spring setting — and a proposal. This …
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. …
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 …
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. In Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen gives us just a teaser about their relationship, so …
Happy Monday, dear Janeites! I was contemplating upcoming decisions in my life and what I believe would be to the chagrin of my younger self, things have NOT gotten easier since becoming an adult. Luckily, I have our dear Jane to help me escape. I believe we all need a little escape, and often want …
When We Were Young? Twenty-six years ago today, when I was a sophomore in college, I went on a date. It was…meh. Not a disaster; I mean, we had ice cream, and we laughed a little, so that’s good, right? But it wasn’t a miracle, you know? This was definitely not love at first date. …
I have a new book out! A Curative Touch is available in Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, paperback coming soon. It’s a short novel of about 210 pages. This is my first book told completely in first person, and it was super fun to write. It starts with Elizabeth’s point of view, but once the Netherfield …
