ATTENTION AUDIOPHILES! I’m so excited to tell you the news: Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words is now available in your favorite format! And the best news is that it’s in the actual voice so many of you have come to recognize as the personification of Mr. Darcy: the voice of the incomparable Harry Frost! …
This month’s theme is “Blossoming Love.” I’m not sure this post fits, except that before love can bloom, two people have to find each other. Right? Today you might look for your perfect match online. Back in the day it was the personal ads of the newspaper. A while ago, I came across a clever …
Can you believe it is almost the end of May? I have had so much fun this first month after joining Austen Variations! I’ll admit, however, that I was more than a little daunted by the prospect of writing a vignette for this month’s theme, “A Mother’s Love.” Then I tried to imagine what, if …
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 …

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 …
