Another excerpt from my new book!
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 …
Excerpt from my new book!
Yes, the new book is still coming, and I need your help! It still doesn’t have a title (more on that later) and has one scene left to be written, but it’s time to start sharing the early chapters because the publication date is December 2. Yay! This is the high-angst plot bunny where Elizabeth …
After the Wedding (there may be kissing)
Well, is this a swoony theme this month, or what? I’ve been loving all these romantic reads, but my fan is about worn out! Now, I will be quite honest. I was planning to write an exclusive for this theme because it was so much fun, but… I didn’t. You can throw your rotten tomatoes …

Chapter Four Derbyshire, EnglandJuly 1900 Great Scott! Elizabeth swallowed and put a trembling hand to the window. How did one form an oath …
Tempted Chapter Three
Well, here we are at Chapter Three! I hope you are all staying healthy and well. I keep working away at this beast, trying to make it mind. This week’s offering includes a bit of Elizabeth’s back story, but that will not be the case in every chapter. I think you’ll find that the Bennets …
Now I’m in trouble…
Uh, oh. Now I’m in trouble! You can throw rotten fruit, but no death threats, okay? 😉 I like writing happy books. But last summer I posted something on Facebook about how much I’d enjoyed writing variations where Mr. Darcy had a brother, and suddenly an evil plot bunny sprung full-grown into life right in …
Tempted Chapter Two… For Real This Time
Tempted is a story that has ever been the bridesmaid, but never the bride. I typed the first chapter in April of 2018, and all that time, I would tinker with it, then put it aside in favor of something shinier and… dare I say… easier. I’m not going to lie, this story has been …
