Choosing a romantic scene to share was not an easy choice to make. I have my favorites, of course, but I didn’t want to drop spoilers or confuse people out of context. Ultimately, I decided to share this scene from Green Card. It was one of the first scenes I wrote for this story and …
Valentine’s Day may have come and gone, but here at Austen Variations we are still celebrating this leap year with our monthly theme on all things romance! And what better way to do it than with excerpts highlighting one of our favorite couple’s leap into love! Today I’ll be sharing a passage from my Pride …
With Valentine’s Day, love is in the air. And it’s a Leap Year besides! So we’re celebrating all this month with romantic excerpts and special giveaways! Today it’s my turn, and I have a romantic ‘Darcy and Elizabeth’ chapter from The Darcys of Pemberley, my first (and still most popular) novel. Even if you’ve read …
Austen by the Fireside is this month’s theme, and it’s such a cosy one! Perfect for January. This is the time for cosiness, for wrapping up warm and curling up with a good book – or with several. It would be ever so nice if we could curl up before an open fire, but these …
Your Austen Variations authors have so much going on this month (with new releases, etc.) that there haven’t been many posts so far using this month’s theme: Fantastical Austen, where the strange and paranormal are meant to be featured.

Good morning! I hope you’re having a lovely and relaxing summer, and that you’re ready to party at the 10th Annual Austen in August, hosted by www.thebookrat.com. I’m delighted to say that this post (along with the other ones that I’ll share with you later this month) is part of the Austen in August celebration of …
Picnics! What a fun theme! Only one problem; I didn’t have a single picnic scene in any of my books to share… so I wrote one for the Northanger Abbey sequel I have underway (working title: Murder at Northanger Abbey). It fit nicely into the first chapter where I’m giving a snap shot of Catherine …
