The Best Cookies Ever

For our Fabulous Food month, I wanted to share something brilliant and regency period-appropriate. But I don’t know any authentic regency recipes. What I do know is cookies.  I’ve taken this particular recipe to multiple potlucks and parties, and I have never left without someone requesting the recipe. Not once. If you are sad, these …

Chapter 1 – Confined with Mr. Darcy

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I made the announcement on Friday, telling you about my new story, and now, it’s time to start previewing!

Fabulous Food: Mr. Darcy’s Dinner

Before [Elizabeth] had been three minutes in her own room, her mother followed her. “My dearest child,” she cried, “I can think of nothing else! Ten thousand a year, and very likely more! ‘Tis as good as a Lord! And a special licence! You must and shall be married by a special licence! But, my …

Launch Day! Fortune and Felicity

It’s finally here!! It seems like it was a very long journey for this Pride and Prejudice what-if variation, which was written during difficult circumstances for me and, more recently, for the whole world. I can hardly believe the project has finally come to fruition! I’m wiping away a little tear from my eye. Fortune …

Hot Cross Buns: A Good Friday Tradition

Well it’s Good Friday, and it’s time for the mouth-watering taste of a hot cross bun, something Jane Austen would have eaten for breakfast on this very day. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go to the shops because of lockdown, so I can’t have any this year, and I couldn’t bake them because I’m …

A Proposal Scene by Shannon Winslow

I thought at first that a theme like “proposals,” would be easy. After all, there’s at least one proposal in all my books, just as in Jane Austen’s. Right? And if I wrote P&P variations, there would be no difficulty (or mystery). The proposals would be between Darcy and Elizabeth and we would all know …
