Greetings, friends! It’s almost the end of a “scandalous September.” (Did you do anything scandalous this month? For my part, I turned another year older…very scandalous indeed!) In March, I began an untitled P&P short story to help me get out of a writing funk. Now, as we approach October, I have finally finished! (Well, there’s …
Hello! Isn’t cover reveal day always so exciting? I think it is, if only because it means I can talk about my latest creation more than I have in the past. I did make a wee post about my new novella, Mrs Bennet Makes a Match, last month, but today I will share an excerpt …
In the sultry days of early September the Darcys were wanting to leave Venice, where the heat hung dome-like and heavy over the muddy canals. Lord Byron mentioned a country villa he and Shelley knew about, in Este, near Padua, a twenty-five mile carriage journey from Venice. It was on high grounds with beautiful gardens …
Happy September! So, I have good news and bad news. Good news first, right? In a previous post, I lamented the lack of a title for this story.

It feels like I was just recently telling you about a new release, and yet, here I am again! Today, I am happy to announce that Mrs Bennet Makes a Match will be released on Monday, 2 October. (You may have seen a date later in the month on Amazon; the release has been moved up …
Happy August to you! Will my modern take on P&P never end? Who knows! Given how I can go on and on, I will attempt keep this intro short, except to say the following: You all are the best! Thanks for continuing to read this still-untitled short story. (Any suggestions for a title?) You can …
Lady Catherine de Bourgh was used to being well served. Therefore when she was awakened by the unaccustomed spectacle of her bedchamber filled with sunshine from a sun already fairly high in the sky, she was startled. Why, it must be past nine o’clock. Where was her maid? No one had come to pull back …
Greetings, friends! Long, long ago (in March), I posted the first part of a modern P&P short story. I began the project as a way to get out of my writing rut. While I can’t say I’ve accomplished that particular feat, I have managed to write another installment of the story! If you’d like to …
