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 …
This is a vignette I wrote a few years ago in celebration of Mother’s Day. I hope you enjoy it! The Bennets A few hours and it will be over. It is such a gorgeous day. A bike ride through the ravine. That will be my reward for being the good daughter, Elizabeth promised herself. …
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 …

I have to admit that I have never been much of a poetry reader, and asking me to write a poem is liable to send me into a panic. But I decided to jump right into the Sonnets and Bonnets theme and see what I could come up with. One type of poetry I enjoyed …
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 …
It’s publication day! For this celebratory post, I thought I would do something a little different and share some insights into the characters from The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy. One of the things I love about writing Austen variations is imagining how a change in circumstances results in changes to our beloved characters. I can’t …
