It starts when we’re kids: all the build-up to Christmas (or what ever holiday you celebrate this time of year): the decorations, the wish lists, the family traditions, the idea that magic can happen! But the higher our unreasonable expectations, the more likely they are to be disappointed. On the other hand, sometimes what happens …
Good morning! Have you had the first snow of the season? Mr Darcy did 🙂 There is snow at Pemberley in this excerpt from one of the few books where I wrote about the Christmas season. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Excerpt from MISS DARCY’S COMPANION The morning before Christmas dawned …
We’re getting closer and closer to Christmas day, so I thought I’d share the Christmas chapter from His Perfect Gift today. It’s one of my favorite chapters and I hope you enjoy it!

Elizabeth, her young cousins and their friend have finally found shelter in stables they came …
Here’s another sneak peek at my upcoming magical variation on Pride & Prejudice. This scene also takes place while Elizabeth is at Netherfield, and comes just after the last excerpt I posted, but I think you can read it on its own, too.

How about a bit of fun? If you’re like me, this is a crazy time of year, fun but hectic! And being that I like a good crossword puzzle now and then, I thought it might be fun to create one about our dear Jane. Hope you enjoy! With good luck I have done this …
