This month’s theme is Sonnets and Bonnets, as you may know. And although I intend to focus on the sonnet (poetry) aspect, I couldn’t resist throwing in a few pictures and one quote on the other side of the equation, just to be fair. Besides, we must have pictures, and hats make better pictures than …
Happy March! This month, some of us will be posting on the theme of COMEUPPANCE, which is defined as “something unpleasant regarded as just punishment.” And who is more deserving of it than Lady Catherine? In P&P, we know she gets her just punishment when Darcy defies her edict that he must marry Anne. But …
I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day, finding some appropriate way to celebrate, even in these difficult times. I’m thinking that as long as there was chocolate and a good book or movie involved, it was a winner. If your sweetheart was snuggled up beside you too, so much the better! This month, some …
I’ve participated in a couple of JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) author events recently. And in preparing for them, I realized that, although we all share the same love of Jane Austen’s work, my writing philosophy is a little different than most JAFF authors, and my novels reflect that.

Happy New Year! 2020 was a very difficult year for everyone, so I think it’s important for us to celebrate the achievement of all the authors who were somehow able to make their way through writing a book (or more than one, as it so happens!). It is no mean feat, I can tell you, …
I hope you’re enjoying discovering all the SPECIAL TREATS hidden in this year’s ADVENT CALENDAR! Today I’ve got 3 jigsaw puzzles for you, made from the cover art for my first three novels. I could call them the “big sky” covers. You’ll soon see why. Writing is my passion, but I always look forward to …
Welcome to DAY 5 of our ADVENT CALENDAR. I hope you’re enjoying these special posts. Today I’ve got a fun, mash-up scene that should be brand new to most of you! But first a few words about the phenomenon of the Advent Calendar itself. In case you’re wondering, no, it’s not a Regency thing and …
Right after Halloween (and sometimes even before) our retailers would have us begin focusing on Christmas, and now “Black Friday”, which used to be limited to one day, has expanded to an entire season dedicated to shopping for bargains. I love Christmas. But I often think it’s a shame that in our rush to get …
Today, I had hoped to be announcing the audio book release of Murder at Northanger Abbey, but it’s still awaiting final approval. I’m expecting that it will make it out before Halloween, though. Either way, I will invite you to read it in some form during this season, which would be particularly appropriate since the …
Time-slip/body-swap fun! Romance and multiple proposals! The chance to star in your own Jane Austen-style story! What could be better? In case you missed it before, that’s LEAP of HOPE, and now it’s available in AUDIO! Meagan Moses is the talented narrator who brings the story to life, and she had a real challenge because …
