Good morning! Have you had the first snow of the season? Mr Darcy did 🙂 There is snow at Pemberley in this excerpt from one of the few books where I wrote about the Christmas season. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Excerpt from MISS DARCY’S COMPANION The morning before Christmas dawned …
Hello again! As a small pressie before the holidays, here’s something I prepared earlier 🙂 * * * * * * * * * * * * * “Shall we have our brandy in the library, Mr Bennet?” Darcy asked and his father-in-law readily agreed, their voices ringing almost too loudly, once the boisterous contingent …
Hello again! Well, ’tis the season to pick apples and blackberries and plums and make jams, cakes and crumbles, but this post is about a different sort of harvest. This summer, my family and I went walking in Derbyshire again. While we were there I did my best to keep my camera in my pocket …
This month’s theme had me thinking that garden scenes don’t feature very often in my books, and that’s probably because ornamental gardens are rather too close to the house.

Good morning! Thanks for joining me today for a second excerpt from TWISTS OF FATE, due for release in less than a month – but read at your peril, for there be spoilers! Still, I hope you won’t mind a few teensy-weensy ones. If you missed the first excerpt, you can find it here. …
Good morning! Well, I’m finally getting somewhere with my next book, and I was wondering if you’d like to hear a little more about the story. If you’ve seen my earlier posts, you already know the premise: What if Mr Collins were to shock Elizabeth with his base conduct at the time of his proposal, …
Good morning! Thanks for stopping by for a chat today. I think you’ve already guessed which scatter-brained mamma I’m thinking of. Poor Mrs Bennet! In a time when no one had any understanding of genetics, it was regarded as the woman’s fault, and she was seen as having failed her husband, if …
When ‘Sonnets and Bonnets’ was chosen as this month’s theme, the first one I could think of was the sonnet that seems to say it all about the guiding thread in Pride and Prejudice: Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters …
