Hi there, everyone! I hope you are hanging in there and well. Today, I am resurrecting an older vignette I wrote once upon a time. After publishing Rain and Retribution, I had a lot of people asking for an epilogue of sorts, which I did put in the comments at the time. This was sort …
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 …
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! Ten thousand a year! A house in town! Two glowing five-star reviews! Here’s a quote from From Pemberley to …
I’m pleased to announce that The Price of Pride is finally available! After many delay and lots of, well, 2020, I’m so glad it’s finally out! Usually when I release a book, I plan a blog tour and lots of celebration, but somehow that just doesn’t seem right in a time that’s so difficult for …

In the time-honored tradition of giving gifts in celebration, today I am offering an …
Here is the second and final section of Where Dreams Come True. You can find Part I here. Enjoy! Lucy Elizabeth was standing outside of Boma, one of Animal Kingdom’s restaurants with Jane, Charles and Katie waiting for their table to be ready. Her thoughts were far away. Well, not that far away, really; she …
Sorry to keep you waiting so long for this new chapter of The Price of Pride. Real life got a little too exciting, but I’m back to work now. I’m sorry to confess that the release date is being pushed back, too, to either mid-December or early January. I hope you enjoy this chapter. To …
Hello everyone! I was looking through some old (old) short stories of mine and thought I would polish them up and share them with you. This one, which will be posted in two parts (Part II will be next Thursday), was inspired by a family trip to Disney World when my daughter was six. It …
And now it starts to get exciting! Here’s the third excerpt from The Price of Pride, where we see the fallout of Wickham’s visit. Thanks for all your comments – they keep me inspired! If you’ve missed the earlier sections, check them out here: Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2. ~~~ The red-haired chambermaid came to …
Yes! The new book has a title. The winning suggestion, The Price of Pride, came from the amazing J. Dawn King, an Austenesque author with quite the talent for titling. It was a tough choice, let me tell you, with all those fantastic ideas from readers! I had to form a little focus group to …
