William, Fitzwilliam, and Fitzwilliam
Is it possible to have too many Williams? I like the name – very much, in fact. Even so, there ought to be a limit as to number. One thing I’ve learned as a novelist is that you shouldn’t confuse your readers with character names that are too similar. If you’ve already got a Terry …
Rebirth and Rejuvenation: a Second Chance for Hope
Spring is my favorite season! It’s all about new life – baby animals (I saw a fawn just yesterday) and green growing things. The birds return from their winter latitudes and start to sing. And flowers begin blooming everywhere. It means I’ve made it through another winter, and I feel hopeful and rejuvenated. When I …
Sneak Peek: Allow Me to Tell You
I’m currently revising a section from the ending of my novel, and as I was reading it one last time, it brought tears to my eyes. I must admit, I do like the journey D&E go through in this novel. I think they find out a lot about themselves as well as each other. Are …

How Lady Catherine Became a “Witch”, by Jack Caldwell
How Lady Catherine became a “witch”, by Jack Caldwell Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. The monthly theme “Which Witch: Magic and Malevolence in Austen” was a little tough for me. I don’t write fantasy (at least yet), so how was I going to come up with a post this month? Then I thought about the …
