Good morning! This is the second post I’m sharing this month, here and at the 10th Annual Austen in August hosted by www.thebookrat.com. Hope you’re having fun at this great celebration of a special lady who has given us so much joy for over 200 years. Thanks for stopping by last Friday to read …
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 …

The Ladies of Rosings Park is now published! Hooray!

Every Monday I will post another installment of my upcoming novel, The Ladies of Rosings Park, here at Austen Variations.
