Dangerous Magic: Book Launch & Giveaway
It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for DANGEROUS MAGIC: A PRIDE AND PREJUDICE to come out. I wrote this novel last year, during lockdown, and I wanted to escape to a kingdom far, far away. What better place to escape to than Jane Austen’s England — don’t we all love to go there? — …

Wickham’s Comeuppance: How shall we punish him?
There are some characters we simply love to hate: Lady Catherine, Miss Bingley, Wickham. I hope you enjoyed Lady Catherine’s comeuppance in Shannon Winslow’s post the other day. So delicious!

Excerpt Love-Hate New Release and Giveaway
Brrrr! At least, that’s what I’ve been saying a lot lately, and I’m sure there are those of you in colder parts of the country than Oregon. Whose idea was it to have a winter storm in February, anyway? Foul, I say! Anyway, I hope you’re all keeping safe and warm. My contribution to our …
Love/Hate: Excerpt from To Conquer Pride
As you may have noticed, February’s theme here at Austen Variations is love/hate relationships, which, for those of us who read and write JAFF, probably brings to mind Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet above any other couple. So, although I am *this close* to typing “The End” on my current WIP, I thought for today’s …
What I’m writing – old and new!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for The Price of Pride, with not one, but two, of the best reviews I’ve ever had. I’m all a-twitter, feeling like Mrs. Bennet clutching for her smelling salts!
