A Most Respectable Elopement, Part Eight

Chapter 10 WIP
On this first Friday in the month of October, I am finally announcing the title of my new book, which I have been mainly referring to as WIP (work in progress) when I have posted my stories. I actually had one title I was going to use, but then recently I decided to go with …
A Personal Tribute to Benjamin Whitrow

“But don’t you want to know what happens next?” That’s the question I often ask when I meet someone who tells me how much they love Jane Austen’s books, especially Pride and Prejudice. Their answer is usually the same as my own: yes, yes, YES! We’ve fallen in love with the characters, and we’re not ready …
