I always love finally being able to tell people about a new book! It takes month (and months and months—haha) of work before I can talk to a selected handful of people about what I’m working on, and it’s tough to keep quiet. Today, I’m pleased to introduce you to The Truth About Family. Be …
Hello, everyone! If you’re just catching up to this, my alter-ego Alix James (she’s the one with the short attention span who’s always trying to juggle fifty balls in the air) has a new story coming out! Check out Chapter One if you missed it, and then read on for the official blurb, Chapter Two …
I know what you’re thinking. Darcy is too much of a gentleman. He would never steal a kiss! Oh, yes, he would, and admit it–you’re dying to read all about it. Ahem, yes, here I am (waves apologetically). I’ve been MIA quite a bit this year, and I’m finally ready to fess up about some of …
Hi everyone! Thank you all for the warm reception to part 1 of my silly little summer story. If you missed it, you can it here. https://austenvariations.com/the-travails-of-mr-charles-bingley-part-1/ Today, I present part two of what I have decided will be a total of four. As I mentioned last time, the inspiration came from both the monthly …
With everything happening in the world, I debated about what to post today. I’d love to be able to say we’re all plugging along as usual, but I don’t think any of us feel that way right now. I’m praying by the time this posts tomorrow, things will have improved. In light of the uncertainty …
Hello again! As a small pressie before the holidays, here’s something I prepared earlier 🙂 * * * * * * * * * * * * * “Shall we have our brandy in the library, Mr Bennet?” Darcy asked and his father-in-law readily agreed, their voices ringing almost too loudly, once the boisterous contingent …
Good morning! Thanks for stopping by for a chat today. I think you’ve already guessed which scatter-brained mamma I’m thinking of. Poor Mrs Bennet! In a time when no one had any understanding of genetics, it was regarded as the woman’s fault, and she was seen as having failed her husband, if …
Guess what! I am eager and a bit terrified but this is so close to hitting that home stretch! I am putting up chapter 1 now, and have scheduled chapter 2 for next week. I am still editing, so if you catch something, that’s why. I still have one more read through by the editor …
Want to a sneak peek of my new novella? It’s getting towards the finish line, though it’s looking more like a short novel than a novella at the moment. It’s a low-angst, high-banter look at what Darcy might have been like if his parents had still been alive when he met Elizabeth. If he hadn’t …
It’s publication day! For this celebratory post, I thought I would do something a little different and share some insights into the characters from The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy. One of the things I love about writing Austen variations is imagining how a change in circumstances results in changes to our beloved characters. I can’t …
