I am so enjoying writing this new work, and I am so grateful for all the fantastic feedback I’ve been getting, along with all your lovely ideas which I’m keeping a record of and hope to include as I go. If you’ve missed the beginning, here are Part One and Part Two. Last week, we left the story …
Poor Evie! She was kind enough to agree to step up and take over the Reader’s Perspective post at the last minute for Dave McKee, and instead of giving her a gentle start, we gave her a tough chapter to comment on. Fortunately, she’s a very nice person and will probably forgive me some day …
This past Sunday night the Academy Awards were on and, as usual, I was glued to the screen for all of it. I didn’t watch more than 30 minutes or so of the Red Carpet interviews beforehand, but I did catch a handful. To me, the stars looked nervous out there. Distracted, jittery, nearly feverish…and …
I’m in the last stage of editing and revising my WIP “Mr. Darcy’s Pledge” and as usual there are a lot of last minute decisions to be made.

In the excerpt below, Georgiana Darcy and modern-day friend Chris O’Malley take in some of Baltimore’s sights: Prior to walking into Victoria’s Secret, Georgiana had been frugal with her brother’s money, but …
In writing some of my books, doing research before (or even during) the writing process has led to a major (or minor) part of the story, sometimes actually changing the direction I was heading. When I was writing Darcy’s Voyage (originally self-published as Pemberley’s Promise), I did a lot of research on websites about traveling …
Here’s Part Two of Elizabeth Darcy’s Ring – the first of a new collection of tales from Jane Austen’s Jewel Box. If you missed Part One you can read it here. I’m very grateful for all your suggestions and have edited the last part with some of them in mind! I hope you enjoy this …
Welcome back to Dave McKee, our Fearless Reader! Today he’s doing double duty – first commenting on his reactions to Maria Grace’s Regency Interpreter, then on to the latest chapter of The Darcy Brothers.
