In just a couple of weeks (Sept. 29th), people from far and wide will begin gathering in Victoria, British Columbia, for the 2022 Jane Austen Society of North America Annual General Meeting (JASNA AGM). In other words, it’s a Jane Austen convention! What could be better? Around 700 fully-vaccinated Austen addicts congregating to learn more …
“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on until I am.” ~Jane Austen Hello, my dear readers. It sure has been a hot minute since I’ve shown my ‘face’ on this lovely site. Football is going well, so unfortunately both writing and Jane have taken a back seat. However, …
Greetings! I return to posting with no little embarrassment. Indeed, I’m blushing like Charles Bingley in Lucy Marin’s fabulous short story, “The Travails of Charles Bingley.” Look at me, showing up in Meryton months and months after I departed without explanation! (But Jane, I have missed you—truly!) I can make no excuses. Nonetheless, I will …

“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on until I am.” ~Jane Austen Happy Thursday, dear readers! I hope your year is progressing nicely, as we’ve hit the half way point! Can you believe we are almost in July? Life has been busy for me as of late. If …
It’s launch day, and I’m so excited to introduce you to my brand new book! Colonel Brandon has arrived and is now ready to tell his story in His Own Words . “I was just going to tell you of our agreeable surprize in seeing him arrive…” (Jane Austen, Emma) What kind of book …
