This month’s theme is “Fool for Love,” partly inspired by April Fools’ Day. And since I’m first up, I thought I’d start with a bit about April Fools’ Day itself, including a few infamous hoaxes. Then I have a fun excerpt for you that fits the theme! According to history.com, the exact origins of April …
Hello everyone! I have a new book coming out in just two and a half weeks. It is called ‘The Marriage Bargain’ and is a Pride and Prejudice variation inspired by a novel by Georgette Heyer titled ‘A Civil Contract’. I came up with the plot years ago (while re-reading the Heyer story), and I …
It’s release day! I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for That Perfect Someone to be out there. This one was a lot of fun and I loved getting to know Chase Bennet. It was a fun and different dynamic for Lizzy to have a brother who was a confidante and someone to keep …
Book 9 of Jane Austen’s Dragons is now on Audible with the amazing voice talents of Ben Fife, the Voice of Jane Austen’s Dragons.

A big thank you to everyone who has read the book already, …
Continuing with my theme from my last post on escapism, I wanted to take you on a journey. Recently I was able to attend a writer’s retreat in Monterey, California with a few members of my writing group. To say I needed the camaraderie and like-mindedness of other Janeites is an understatement. I think we …
It’s hard to believe, but my first book baby is now a toddler. Being Mrs Darcy was released two years ago this month, and to celebrate, it is getting a new (lower) price. Since this month’s theme is merriment, I decided to post a merry–okay, what should be a merry–scene from Being Mrs Darcy: Elizabeth …
We’re gearing up for a release! That Perfect Someone is edited and the final touches and proofreading needs to be done, but we’re all ready to go. I know I posted this last month, but it’s undergone a couple of small changes so I’m posting it again. I’ll post Chapter 2 on my blog (lldiamondwrites.com) …
