Perfect Refreshment

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 …

Darcy and Elizabeth: Their Wedding Night (Leaving More or Less to the Imagination)

For our “After the Wedding” theme, I turned to my very first novel: The Darcys of Pemberley. As a P&P sequel, technically the whole thing takes place after the wedding. However, since the story picks up a year into D&E’s marriage, there’s not much about the actual wedding night, only this short PG clip, which …

Amazing Grace: a Must-See Movie

For the last month, I’ve been busy with the blog tour launching my latest novel: Murder at Northanger Abbey. Next up? I have just a few chapters written so far of another P&P book, this one from Mr. Darcy’s point of view. Also, I have not one but two audio books in production! Leap of …

Double Dessert – or – What to Do With a Dozen Eggs

Welcome to May! Everybody hoped we’d be past this pandemic by now, but that’s not the case for most of us. We’re still living a “new normal” – missing some things we’ve lost, at least temporarily, but learning to rediscover enjoyment in others, especially in simple things like family time, reading a good book (of …

A Proposal Scene by Shannon Winslow

I thought at first that a theme like “proposals,” would be easy. After all, there’s at least one proposal in all my books, just as in Jane Austen’s. Right? And if I wrote P&P variations, there would be no difficulty (or mystery). The proposals would be between Darcy and Elizabeth and we would all know …

The Power of a Well-Written Austen Letter

  “Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.” Okay, so this line isn’t strictly a Jane Austen quote… but it certainly could have been. She must have subscribed to this policy (as I do) because she often allowed her characters to explain themselves and express their innermost feelings in letter form. Case in point: …

Bonus Leap into Love

I already did one post on this month’s theme, but I just couldn’t let LEAP into LOVE slip by without tying it to my novel LEAP of HOPE. The two were practically made for each other. The colors even match! Besides, February 29th is kind of a bonus day, so I figured it deserved a bonus …
