Greetings! I return to posting with no little embarrassment. Indeed, I’m blushing like Charles Bingley in Lucy Marin’s fabulous short story, “The Travails of Charles Bingley.” Look at me, showing up in Meryton months and months after I departed without explanation! (But Jane, I have missed you—truly!) I can make no excuses. Nonetheless, I will …
It’s so difficult to realize we’re almost to September! My college/uni age daughter started her classes last week and my two high schoolers were off early this morning for their first day. Though I do enjoy having them at home, I am in a blessedly quiet house (Other writing moms should understand that feeling!) and …
Well, hello, there! Yes, it’s been a minute. I’ve been doing a lot of “momming” this year, and when high-schoolers start going in different directions, we turn into taxi drivers, don’t we? Plus, we start to see just how fast we’re going to lose them… I’m going to cry now. Okay, enough of that. I …
Happy Friday, everyone! I’m back with the conclusion of my summer short story. It’s long (longer than I would generally have a book chapter), but I decided against dividing it into smaller pieces. The links to the previous parts are here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. Thank you so much for …

Though nearly all of Jane Austen’s works end with a wedding, she does not spend much time detailing the weddings themselves, much less the wedding dresses. Modern brides often spend a great deal of effort and money on the wedding dress and expect to wear it only once. Honestly, it is hard to imagine another …
Hello everyone! I’m back with part 3 of my short story. It’s long, and I did not get in everything I originally planned for it. The consequence is that the story will now be five parts, not four. However, I’ve finished some other work, giving me more time to work on it, so I’ll be …
The past six weeks were busy ones for me, launching Colonel Brandon in His Own Words and then tagging along with him on a whirlwind, 10-stop book tour. If you missed any of the festivities, look here for more book info, an excerpt, and a full list of tour stops with links. But now for …
“When Lydia went away, she promised to write very often and very minutely to her mother and Kitty; but her letters were always long expected, and always very short. Those to her mother contained little else than that they were just returned from the library, where such and such officers had attended them, and where …
