Nosy November ~ Who’s the nosiest of all?
So, Nosy November… 😊. Three cheers for Amy D’Orazio for suggesting such a fun theme for this month! ‘Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can,’ Elizabeth said to Mr Darcy, and we have good reason to believe that Jane Austen shared that view, …

Dear Austen Friends, It’s been over two years since I released a new novel…but I’m absolutely thrilled to share this Austen-inspired Christmas romance with you all! I’ve wanted to write a story with a modern Emma & Knightley for ages—there’s just something deliciously fun about an independent woman who has almost everything, except for the …
Advent Calendar – Day 21 – 1812: The Darcys’ First Christmas and the Grinch
Thanks for stopping by to read my second post in the Advent Calendar. If you missed the first, you can find it here. I thought it would be nice if my two posts were about ‘before and after’: Mr Darcy’s Christmastide in the years before and after his marriage. My take on his 1811 Advent …
Advent Calendar – Day 19 – 1811: Mr Darcy’s Advent Season
Good morning! Hope you’re having a wonderful Advent Season so far. I thought this might be a good time to think of Mr Darcy (isn’t it always? 😉 ) and imagine how he might have fared in the run-up to Christmas, once he had left temptation behind and had been oh-so-successful in persuading both his …

Jane Austen’s Advent – Day 24 – Pride, Prejudice, & Snow conclusion
Welcome to the conclusion of “Pride, Prejudice and Snow”! Here are links to Part 1 and Part 2 in case you missed them. This is a modern story set near Woods Hole, MA. It doesn’t include the characters from my Woods Hole stories, but I think of it as taking place in the same seaside universe. …

Jane Austen’s Advent – Day 4 – Pride, Prejudice, & Snow
Today’s Advent treat is a Darcy and Elizabeth Christmas short story I’ve been working on for a few years. Every autumn I’d dust it off and write some more, but never enough to publish it in time for Christmas. This year I decided put a conclusion on it and to post it for our readers. …
