“Comfort and Joy” Excerpt
With only one week until the release of my holiday novella, “Comfort and Joy,” I wanted to share an excerpt with you to ‘make [your] spirits bright!’ This scene takes place instantly after the last I shared on October 25th. Elizabeth, her young cousins and their friend have finally found shelter in stables they came …
The Turnspit Dragon
In which the author does a thing. I’ve been doing a retrospective at my site, Random Bits of Fascination on backlist this month and realized I had 29 books to features, but there were 30 days in the month. Well, I could skip Thanksgiving as it’s a holiday and all. But that was too easy, …

(Read more about that in Diana Birchall’s post.) But I admit that the phrase conjured up something a little different in my mind. First, you should know …
The Homecoming
Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I had hoped the audiobook of His Perfect Gift would be released by today, but unfortunately the review isn’t complete yet. I was trying to figure out what to do, and found this old quickie I wrote years ago, which I thought would be appropriate since Veterans’ Day was yesterday. It …

Reading by the Fire: Fanny and the Geraniums by Diana Birchall
It had been an exceptionally wet October with winds and gales blowing around Mansfield Park almost daily, and Fanny was thankful to have recourse to her own dear East Room.
