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 …

Prologue – Undoing
Hi everyone! I know I’ve posted the prologue before, but I have made one or two tweaks. Nothing major, but release is almost here! I hope you’ll join me for these chapters I’m posting before it goes live. It’s still being proofed, so hopefully, the chapter is clean! Let me know what you think in …
Excerpt from my Work in Progress: Fortune and Felicity – episode 5
There has been a lot of speculation about how Elizabeth and Darcy will get together. I think this chapter will answer the question. Meanwhile, if you haven’t been following the story, you can read the Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 here. Chapter 4 It was not a good time for her …
The Power of a Well-Written Austen Letter
“Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.” Okay, so this line isn’t strictly a Jane Austen quote… but it certainly could have been. She must have subscribed to this policy (as I do) because she often allowed her characters to explain themselves and express their innermost feelings in letter form. Case in point: …
The Dragons of Kellynch Take Flight!
Today a new dragon takes flight! The Dragons of Kellynch are launching! Here’s a final (extra long) sneak peek at Anne’s adventures! The following morning, Anne rose early and donned a comfortable roller-printed morning gown, a dark green and puce striped affair. Elizabeth had stripped it of its fancy trims—they now adorned one of her …
