Looking Backward, Looking forward: News and Views

Fortune & Felicity by Monica Fairview, A Jane Austen Variation

As you might have guessed, this is not a picture of the UK!!! I’ll explain below! Welcome again as part of our January 2021 Retrospective and Prospective.  We talked about having this series this January because last year was such a rollercoaster of a year that it seemed a good idea to remind our readers …

Looking Forward – WIP Sneak Peek #2 by Jennifer Altman

This month, the Austen Variations authors are taking a moment to look back at 2020 and forward to 2021. Like most of you, 2020 was not a great year for me. Living through a global pandemic, adjusting to working remotely for the first time, and trying to write a book proved to be a losing …

The Same, Only Different

I’ve participated in a couple of JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) author events recently. And in preparing for them, I realized that, although we all share the same love of Jane Austen’s work, my writing philosophy is a little different than most JAFF authors, and my novels reflect that. Doing things my own way may …

Retrospective and Prospective

This month, we look back on our recent work, especially at books published during 2020. I fell a little short of that date, as my last published book came out in October 2019. The Bride of Northanger is a sequel to Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, and it follows her heroine Catherine Moreland into her marriage …

Old New Year & a Look Back

Most of you know I am an honorary Ukrainian. I lived in Ukraine, worked in Ukraine, and got married in a big, fat, Ukrainian wedding. (It was super fun – that’s another post.) Ukrainians celebrate New Year twice. The first time is Dec. 31st and Jan 1st, only it is more like Christmas. It is …

Looking Back & Looking Ahead

2020 Retrospective It’s hard not to start this post without using one of the many now-clichés about 2020. It was a tough year for all of us in different ways, and I was glad to see the end of it and cling to the hope/belief that 2021 will be better (eventually). I’ve been reminding myself …

Join us this weekend for our live event!

It’s been a tough couple of days for all of us, but the Austen Variations authors are determined: neither plague nor riots nor gloom of lockdown will stop JAFF in January! We may be shaken, but we’re still going to gather this weekend on Zoom, hoping to provide you, our beloved readers, with a little …

Be fiercely kind

I confess, after yesterday I wandered around at a loss of what to do. I’d been planning book related stuff for quite sometime, but somehow, it didn’t seem the time or place for light, fun stuff. This morning I ran across this on Facebook and it really stood out to me. Though your mileage may …
