Tomorrow is a dark date on the calendar. It’s the 207th anniversary of Jane Austen’s premature death – tragic, really, when you consider how young she was, all the years of promise she didn’t get a chance to live out, and the stories she never had time to write. So sad! But I have good …
Here’s the conclusion of my short story. Will Elizabeth Elliot have her happily ever after? You can find Part I here and Part II here.

A few years ago, I wrote a duet of second-chance loves stories …
This month’s theme is “Fool for Love,” partly inspired by April Fools’ Day. And since I’m first up, I thought I’d start with a bit about April Fools’ Day itself, including a few infamous hoaxes.

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I had hoped the audiobook of His Perfect Gift would be released by today, but unfortunately the review isn’t complete yet.
