Happy 15th Birthday to “The Darcys of Pemberley” – Excerpt and Giveaway
Wow! My first (and still most popular) darling literary child is 15 years old today! In some ways, it seems like only yesterday, but how much my world has changed since then! It’s still a bit surreal to me that I’m a published author with thousands of readers. And it all began with The Darcys …
Tricky Titles
Did you pour over the pages of a baby name book for hours and hours before finally deciding what moniker your darling child would be saddled with for life? Authors give nearly as much thought to titling their latest works before sending them out into the world. A lot rides on that decision, and once …
My P&P Trilogy
There is a certain mystique about a trilogy, and I think most novelists dream of writing at least one – one that’s important, acclaimed… and preferably available as a beautifully boxed set! That was my dream. Actually, when I wrote my first Pride and Prejudice sequel, I didn’t know there would be more. The goal was just to carry Darcy and Elizabeth …
Happy 10th Birthday, “Return to Longbourn”!
Return to Longbourn is 10 years old, and I want to celebrate with a short story, games, and prizes! I’ll never forget the fun I had writing this book, even though (or actually, especially because) it didn’t go at all the way I had planned. I set out to following up my first very successful …
William, Fitzwilliam, and Fitzwilliam
Is it possible to have too many Williams? I like the name – very much, in fact. Even so, there ought to be a limit as to number. One thing I’ve learned as a novelist is that you shouldn’t confuse your readers with character names that are too similar. If you’ve already got a Terry …

The Club is for books that have been purchased, read, and enjoyed by enough people to collect at least 1000 ratings/reviews on Amazon, and …
Happy Birthday to The Darcys of Pemberley – Celebration and Giveaway!
When your firstborn turns 10, it’s only fitting that you should throw a party, right? That’s what’s happening today. My very first novel – The Darcys of Pemberley – was published exactly ten years ago today, and what a difference that decade has made in my life! You should know that when I started writing …

I hope you’re enjoying discovering all the SPECIAL TREATS hidden in this year’s ADVENT CALENDAR! Today I’ve got 3 jigsaw puzzles for you, made from the cover art for my first three novels. I could call them the “big sky” covers. You’ll soon see why. Writing is my passion, but I always look forward to …
Darcy and Elizabeth: Their Wedding Night (Leaving More or Less to the Imagination)
For our “After the Wedding” theme, I turned to my very first novel: The Darcys of Pemberley. As a P&P sequel, technically the whole thing takes place after the wedding. However, since the story picks up a year into D&E’s marriage, there’s not much about the actual wedding night, only this short PG clip, which …
