Welcome to the third excerpt from my Pride & Prejudice alternate history! My plan is to post the first quarter of the book in weekly segments. That’ll take you through the point which will answer some of your biggest questions. If you missed the first two chapters, here they are: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Chapter 3 …
Christmas and New Years are coming fast, so I want to begin by wishing you all wonderful celebrations with your friends and families, enjoying whatever holiday traditions are meaningful to you. After some of the same, I intend to get right back to work toward launching not one but two new novels at once in …
Several years back, at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Chicago, a group of us decided we’d each research and serve a popular Regency drink as part of a workshop we presented called “Jane Austen Happy Hour.” What fun to get to learn about (and taste test) so many delicious drinks.
