Elizabeth Elliot Seeks a Husband Part I
I first posted this story four years ago and I thought it was worth putting out there once again. I almost exclusively write Pride & Prejudice variations, but I had wanted to stretch myself a bit and decided to explore a character from my second favourite Austen novel, Persuasion. Even more of a challenge—trying to …
Under May’s Changing Skies
Some years ago, I went down the rabbit hole looking for wedding-day superstitions, and came across this: ‘Marry under May’s changing skies – a chequered path before you lies.’ It was a line from a traditional English rhyme, and it tickled me, because it was a great fit for the plot and the timeline of …
His Family Objects Release Week Celebration
My latest book was released this past Monday. I posted the prologue a few weeks ago; you can find it here. While it shows us the angst in His Family Objects, today I want to show you the other side of the story—the love Elizabeth and Darcy share. We also meet Georgiana Darcy, who has …

Georgiana and Darcy, an excerpt from Seasons of Waiting
Have I mentioned that I love Austen Variations’ monthly themes (brainchild of the amazing Joana Starnes)? This month’s theme is “Under May’s Changing Skies.” Looking up at the bright blue ether now, I am so happy to welcome the changing skies of late spring to New England! (We’ve had some very gray days around here …
Preview of Coming Attraction
Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my new P&P story! At 63 pages, it’s either a very long short story or a short novella. It’s essentially finished, but since it’s presented in a Christmas framework, I will probably wait to publish it until closer to the end of the year. Technically, it’s fantasy, I guess …
