Hello, friends! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of summer. 🌞 Lately, I’ve seen many of my JAV colleagues sharing stories about their summer adventures, so today, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do the same. This time next week, I will be in what I …
As many of you are probably aware, yesterday marked the 206th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death. So, in honor of the woman who has essentially brought all of us together, I thought I would take the opportunity to dust off a post from a few years ago to celebrate the life of the iconic author. …
Hi, all! I hope your summer is off to a good start! Last month, I was here celebrating the second birthday of my second novel, Faults of Understanding. So today, I thought it would be nice to give my first book baby, To Conquer Pride, a share in the conversation. 🙂 It’s been a while …
Hi, friends! As some of you may have noticed, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. To be honest, it hasn’t been the greatest year, and (to borrow a phrase from the lovely Joana Starnes) I’ve been spending some time hiding under my bonnet. But the good news is that things are starting to …
Hi, all! I hope your spring is off to a good start! Today, I have two very exciting announcements to make. The first is that my most recent novel, Faults of Understanding is finally available in audiobook, narrated by the talented Stevie Zimmerman! A big thank you to everyone who has read the book already, …
Wow! Our Austenesque community is so amazing!!! Between 35 authors and hundreds of readers, we’ve already raised over $7000 $8000 $9000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine on our original fundraiser post! Give yourselves a big hand! But the need is far too great to rest on our laurels, so our authors have pulled out even …
New: There’s a new post with updates! Like most of the world, we’ve been feeling heart-heavy over the tragedy in Ukraine, even more so as Elizabeth Adams, one of our authors, lived in Ukraine and is married to a Ukrainian. We want to do what we can to help out, so we’re turning to you, …
Hi all! As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been taking a bit of a social media break to focus on my writing and other things, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, and to celebrate my two book anniversaries (three years for my first, and six months for my second), I have just moved …
Happy Friday, all! This month’s blog theme is “Up the Garden Path,” so I thought I’d share a brief excerpt from my latest release, Faults of Understanding. In this scene, Darcy and Elizabeth have been married less than a week, and have only recently arrived at Pemberley. As you may recall from previous excerpts, the …
Happy Friday, everyone! I’m excited to announce a brand new feature here at Austen Variations: a series of interviews with our very own JAV authors! Today, I will be interviewing Shannon Winslow, who, coincidentally, celebrated the 10th anniversary of her first book The Darcy’s of Pemberley just this week! Since then, Shannon has published a …
