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 …

A Bitter Pill-A Rain and Retribution Vignette
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 …
Love/Hate: Excerpt from To Conquer Pride
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 …
What I’m writing – old and new!
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 …
The Price of Pride is here!
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 …

Thank you, our dear lady, for giving us so many more years of joy and love and laughter than you were able to enjoy yourself. In the time-honored tradition of giving gifts in celebration, today I am offering an …
The Price of Pride, Chapter 4
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 …
The Price of Pride, Chapter 3
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 …
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 …
