Guess what! I am eager and a bit terrified but this is so close to hitting that home stretch! I am putting up chapter 1 now, and have scheduled chapter 2 for next week. I am still editing, so if you catch something, that’s why. I still have one more read through by the editor …

Pride & Prejudice… and Fossils?
Want to a sneak peek of my new novella? It’s getting towards the finish line, though it’s looking more like a short novel than a novella at the moment. It’s a low-angst, high-banter look at what Darcy might have been like if his parents had still been alive when he met Elizabeth. If he hadn’t …
Launch Day for “Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words”
It’s here at last! I’m excited and proud to introduce my latest novel to you: Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words. When one online friend heard that my new book was coming out on Star Wars Day (“May the 4th be with you.”), she said she fully expected it to be a Pride and Prejudice / Star …

Exciting Cover Reveal for “Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words”
The day is finally here: the cover reveal for Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words! Next to the actual launch, the cover reveal is the most exciting part of bringing a new book out into the world… at least for me. My mom was an artist, and so I very naturally developed an interest in …
A Collection of Comeuppances
Jane Austen was a most judicious punisher of her least deserving characters. She had a high moral sense, as well as a wicked wit, and loved to mete out comeuppances as well as happy endings. Her comeuppances are generally very plausible and very fair, and the ones that might not seem entirely satisfactory, generally have …
Comeuppance: Lady Catherine Gets Hers
Happy March! This month, some of us will be posting on the theme of COMEUPPANCE, which is defined as “something unpleasant regarded as just punishment.” And who is more deserving of it than Lady Catherine? In P&P, we know she gets her just punishment when Darcy defies her edict that he must marry Anne. But …
Love/Hate Excerpt from “Leap of Hope”
I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day, finding some appropriate way to celebrate, even in these difficult times. I’m thinking that as long as there was chocolate and a good book or movie involved, it was a winner. If your sweetheart was snuggled up beside you too, so much the better! This month, some …
The Same, Only Different
I’ve participated in a couple of JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) author events recently. And in preparing for them, I realized that, although we all share the same love of Jane Austen’s work, my writing philosophy is a little different than most JAFF authors, and my novels reflect that. Doing things my own way may …
