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 …

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 …

Where dreams come true, Part I

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 …

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 …

Through Kitty’s Eyes: A New Proposal Scene

Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane, proposed their all walking out. It was agreed to. Mrs. Bennet was not in the habit of walking.

An Eventful Morning

So – Frenemies is this month’s theme. Let’s have some more fun with it. In the WIP I’m working on at the moment, I’m gearing towards a different kind of frenemy situation that Elizabeth is not going to find in the least amusing. But that’s still on the drawing board, so I’ve written a vignette …
