On this day in 1775 our esteemed authoress was born. What better way to celebrate than to share some of our favorite quotes from her? In one of Austen’s letters, she wrote: I can just imagine her face, and maybe even the kind of day she was having when she wrote this. These words …
My writing journey has been a roller coaster thus far. I know it’s a cliche to say but it’s absolutely true. One of my manuscripts which has gone through a ride of its own is a YA Mystery I wrote a few years ago. I landed an agent with this manuscript only to have that …

It was under contract with my previous publisher on two different occasions before I received the rights back and decided to publish it on my own. Although the wait has been long, I’m excited that COLLIDE is almost here! Here’s the blurb: When …

Fifteen stories, both modern and Regency, and all from Darcy’s point of view! *swoon* Why do I mention it? Well, two of the stories are by Austen Variation’s own Caitlin Williams and yep, me! …
Welcome back for Part II or my Elinor/Colonel Brandon mashup. Will they get together? Read on to find out. If you missed Part I, check it out here. Ellie turned this way and that, sizing herself up in the mirror. The navy sheath dress was a bit fancy. Too fancy? Should she change into pants? …
