I’ve participated in a couple of JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) author events recently. And in preparing for them, I realized that, although we all share the same love of Jane Austen’s work, my writing philosophy is a little different than most JAFF authors, and my novels reflect that. Doing things my own way may …
This month, we look back on our recent work, especially at books published during 2020. I fell a little short of that date, as my last published book came out in October 2019. The Bride of Northanger is a sequel to Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, and it follows her heroine Catherine Moreland into her marriage …
Most of you know I am an honorary Ukrainian. I lived in Ukraine, worked in Ukraine, and got married in a big, fat, Ukrainian wedding. (It was super fun – that’s another post.) Ukrainians celebrate New Year twice. The first time is Dec. 31st and Jan 1st, only it is more like Christmas. It is …
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 …
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 …
