Late summer greetings to you all! This month’s AV theme is inelegance –an intriguing motif for any writer! (Thanks to Diana and Joana for the theme idea, and thanks to Leslie for the graphic!) While I had aimed to include the word somewhere in this post, I’m afraid the only inelegance you’ll find is in …
Hello, friends! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of summer. 🌞 Lately, I’ve seen many of my JAV colleagues sharing stories about their summer adventures, so today, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do the same. This time next week, I will be in what I …
It feels like I was just recently telling you about a new release, and yet, here I am again! Today, I am happy to announce that Mrs Bennet Makes a Match will be released on Monday, 2 October. (You may have seen a date later in the month on Amazon; the release has been moved up …
I feel like this would be Elizabeth Bennet’s favorite time of year. The roads would be dry, she can keep her windows open at night to enjoy the cool breeze and the stars, and she could lie out on the grass with her favorite book. But I’m willing to entertain other notions. Let’s put it …

If you missed my previous posts about A Matter of Prudence, you can find them here and here. At last, release day for A Matter of Prudence has arrived! I don’t know why, but it seems like it has been a long time coming. Maybe it’s because I’ve wanted to write about the Bingleys’ scheming together …
Happy August to you! Will my modern take on P&P never end? Who knows! Given how I can go on and on, I will attempt keep this intro short, except to say the following: You all are the best! Thanks for continuing to read this still-untitled short story. (Any suggestions for a title?) You can …
A few weeks ago I went on a short camping trip with my family, and as luck would have it, I found some material that’s ever so fitting for this month’s post. We camped in Dorset, within driving distance of Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill’s Weymouth, and of the pretty village of Osmington, where John …
So much news! I have a YouTube Channel and you can listen to my audiobooks there! I need subscribers so I can start making money on the books, which will allow me to hire more narrators and make more available for free like this. Help an author out and subscribe? Uncertain Endeavor is coming soon! …
This month’s theme at Austen Variations is Growth in Adversity  (shout out to Joana Starnes who keeps us all well supplied with thought provoking themes!) I happen to really enjoy thinking of new forms of adversity/torment for Darcy and Elizabeth! The following is a scene from The Best Part of Love, the first book I …
