For the last month, I’ve been busy with the blog tour launching my latest novel: Murder at Northanger Abbey. Next up? I have just a few chapters written so far of another P&P book, this one from Mr. Darcy’s point of view. Also, I have not one but two audio books in production! Leap of …
The day is finally here! Maybe some of you have been waiting impatiently for Murder at Northanger Abbey to come out. Believe me, I have too! Usually I underestimate how long it will take to get everything done and I’m scrambling at the end. So for this book, I decided to be smart and allow …
TA DA! Here it is: Murder at Northanger Abbey. Isn’t the cover luscious? And what fun I had writing this book! I’d never written a murder mystery before, but that seemed the only choice for a sequel to Northanger Abbey. So I went for it, taking an unconventional approach. You see, unlike most writers of the …
Hello, everyone! I hope you enjoyed last month’s proposal stories because we’ve put them into a free book for you to enjoy. We love our readers and we know you’re always looking for something to read, so we thought you might like to have these as an option when you’re perusing your to-read list 🙂 …
Welcome to May! Everybody hoped we’d be past this pandemic by now, but that’s not the case for most of us. We’re still living a “new normal” – missing some things we’ve lost, at least temporarily, but learning to rediscover enjoyment in others, especially in simple things like family time, reading a good book (of …
I thought at first that a theme like “proposals,” would be easy. After all, there’s at least one proposal in all my books, just as in Jane Austen’s. Right? And if I wrote P&P variations, there would be no difficulty (or mystery). The proposals would be between Darcy and Elizabeth and we would all know …
“Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.” Okay, so this line isn’t strictly a Jane Austen quote… but it certainly could have been. She must have subscribed to this policy (as I do) because she often allowed her characters to explain themselves and express their innermost feelings in letter form. Case in point: …
I already did one post on this month’s theme, but I just couldn’t let LEAP into LOVE slip by without tying it to my novel LEAP of HOPE. The two were practically made for each other. The colors even match! Besides, February 29th is kind of a bonus day, so I figured it deserved a bonus …
With Valentine’s Day, love is in the air. And it’s a Leap Year besides! So we’re celebrating all this month with romantic excerpts and special giveaways! Today it’s my turn, and I have a romantic ‘Darcy and Elizabeth’ chapter from The Darcys of Pemberley, my first (and still most popular) novel. Even if you’ve read …
It’s time to look at the last section of Jane Austen’s final, incomplete novel: Sanditon. (If you’re just joining the Group Read today, you may want to review the Introduction here and Part One here, Part Two here, and Part Three here to get caught up.) Chapter 10 I had just been wondering what was really going on …
