In just a couple of weeks (Sept. 29th), people from far and wide will begin gathering in Victoria, British Columbia, for the 2022 Jane Austen Society of North America Annual General Meeting (JASNA AGM). In other words, it’s a Jane Austen convention! What could be better? Around 700 fully-vaccinated Austen addicts congregating to learn more …
“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on until I am.” ~Jane Austen Hello, my dear readers. It sure has been a hot minute since I’ve shown my ‘face’ on this lovely site. Football is going well, so unfortunately both writing and Jane have taken a back seat. However, …
Today we have a special feature – an interview with Nikki Payne, whose book Pride and Protest is now available for pre-order! I’m so excited about this diverse retelling from a long-time member of the JAFF community. Actually it’s two interviews – a written one with questions from our authors and an amazing video interview …
Hello everyone! I have a different sort of post today. It’s not a new story. Sorry! I am actively writing and editing, though, and I’ll have ‘interesting news’ later this year. 🙂 Instead, I thought I’d talk about names, specifically where I find them. I do get around to talking about The Marriage Bargain, including …

(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 …
