What better way to start a new week than with a cover reveal and excerpt! I first told you about His Family Objects, my new Regency Pride & Prejudice variation, at the end of March (see here), and today I’m ready to share more. The book comes out on Monday, 20 May (via Amazon in …
Happy April! Today, I offer a sweet and silly short story based on this month’s theme, “Arts and Allurements.” That phrase comes from Lady Catherine’s speech to Elizabeth outside of Longbourn (the same speech in which she calls Elizabeth an “obstinate, headstrong girl”): “This is not to be borne. Miss Bennet, I insist on …
Hello, dear Janeites! How happy I am to have a chance to chat with you today about my upcoming book, “The Consequence of Courage,” set for release in early fall. This book is not like anything I have written before, as Mr. Wickham is a predominant character not associated with Lydia. I’m not a huge fan …
There is a certain mystique about a trilogy, and I think most novelists dream of writing at least one – one that’s important, acclaimed… and preferably available as a beautifully boxed set! That was my dream. Actually, when I wrote my first Pride and Prejudice sequel, I didn’t know there would be more. The goal was just to carry Darcy and Elizabeth …

Hot on the heels of my modern book, A Pinch of Salt, I have a new Regency novel coming this May. I’ve been busy! Haha The book is titled His Family Objects. It is an Elizabeth and Darcy story. Its root is in a small line from Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth and the Gardiners are …
I had a lot of interest when I published this post on my own blog (www.shannonwinslow.com), so I decided to give it an encore presentation here, for any of you who may have missed it. These are my reviews of Hallmark’s four featured February films: I was skeptical when I heard of the Hallmark Channel’s …
Now that Mr Darcy and the Enchanted Library has been polished and published, I realized that I haven’t given you any updates for some time on my writing progress. Just to reassure you, the FOURTH and FINAL book in Mr. Darcy’s Magic is in progress. It is chugging along very well indeed [to use a …
I’m so excited that release day for A Pinch of Salt has finally arrived! For those keeping count, which I expect is no one other than me, this is my tenth book! I’m going to share another excerpt with you–you can find others here and here–but first I wanted to tell you just a little …
Happy February 29, that rarest of days! This month’s theme is “Alone Together,” so I thought I’d finish a short story from a few months ago, one that seemed relevant to this theme. But when I read back over the story, I didn’t like it–and so I started anew. The idea for this story is …
