Hi friends, First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in my original Pride and Prejudice book cover contest here on the Austen Variations blog! I’ll admit—I was a little nervous at first. I worried that either there wouldn’t be enough votes, or that the responses would be so evenly spread out that I’d …
I’m glad you’re enjoying the Prelude to Pemberley segments so much! Although this isn’t an official one, it really could have been. It’s actually an excerpt from the prequel portion of my novel Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words, before Darcy has met Elizabeth and he’s considering marriage in a very logically minded way. [If …

Release Day for Mr. Darcy’s Folly Is Here! Well, it’s happened. Mr. Darcy’s Folly is officially out in the world, and I am—predictably—equal parts thrilled and panicked. (Why does hitting “publish” feel like sending your daughter into a Regency-era ballroom and hoping she doesn’t trip over her hem?) This book has been one of my …
