2020 Retrospective It’s hard not to start this post without using one of the many now-clichés about 2020. It was a tough year for all of us in different ways, and I was glad to see the end of it and cling to the hope/belief that 2021 will be better (eventually). I’ve been reminding myself …
It’s been a tough couple of days for all of us, but the Austen Variations authors are determined: neither plague nor riots nor gloom of lockdown will stop JAFF in January! We may be shaken, but we’re still going to gather this weekend on Zoom, hoping to provide you, our beloved readers, with a little …
Happy New Year! 2020 was a very difficult year for everyone, so I think it’s important for us to celebrate the achievement of all the authors who were somehow able to make their way through writing a book (or more than one, as it so happens!). It is no mean feat, I can tell you, …
Happy 2021! After a long, hard year, the Austen Variations authors are ready to celebrate our fantastic JAFF community. Want some nice, safe Austenesque fun? Join us on January 9-10 for JAFF in January, a chance for JAFF readers and writers to hang out together virtually. Enjoy special talks, readings, watch parties, a mini-play, and …
One of the traditions in my family is baking Christmas cookies, so I wanted to incorporate cookies into one of our Advent treats. I wish I could share a piece of shortbread with you all; this little tale will have to do instead. Christmas Eve Will Darcy approached the village of Meryton. He was hesitant …
I hope you’re enjoying discovering all the SPECIAL TREATS hidden in this year’s ADVENT CALENDAR! Today I’ve got 3 jigsaw puzzles for you, made from the cover art for my first three novels. I could call them the “big sky” covers. You’ll soon see why. Writing is my passion, but I always look forward to …
Hello Dears! For those of you who don’t know, I quite like to cook and I especially like to bake. A few of my books have recipes in them, and there are more on my own site as well. (eadamswrites.com) Usually, every holiday season I make goodie boxes for my neighbors and host a party …
For those of you keeping track, today we are wishing Jane Austen a Happy 245th Birthday! Thank you, our dear lady, for giving us so many more years of joy and love and laughter than you were able to enjoy yourself. In the time-honored tradition of giving gifts in celebration, today I am offering an …
Welcome to day 14 of our Advent Calendar! Today, is a bit of nonsense, a short excerpt from Unwrapping Mr. Darcy. The door closed, and Elizabeth pivoted to face the darkened street. The Rolls Royce still sat along the curb—exactly where she’d left it. Why did she promise Charlotte? She didn’t …
I must offer my deepest apologies to everyone! The post encountered some technical difficulties that took quite a few hours to resolve (and still aren’t quite complete). I’m not quite sure how I accomplished this (I’m an author, not a video engineer) but the video went live… in 3D! I’m still scratching my head about …
