How Elizabeth & Darcy Met on Mother’s Day

I posted this vignette a few years ago, and with it being Mother’s Day this upcoming weekend (for those of us in Canada and the US at least), I thought I’d re-post it. I hope you enjoy this bit of silliness! The Bennets A few hours and it will be over. It is such a …

Georgiana and Darcy, an excerpt from Seasons of Waiting

Seasons of Waiting

Have I mentioned that I love Austen Variations’ monthly themes (brainchild of the amazing Joana Starnes)? This month’s theme is “Under May’s Changing Skies.” Looking up at the bright blue ether now, I am so happy to welcome the changing skies of late spring to New England! (We’ve had some very gray days around here …

Preview of Coming Attraction

Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my new P&P story!  At 63 pages, it’s either a very long short story or a short novella. It’s essentially finished, but since it’s presented in a Christmas framework, I will probably wait to publish it until closer to the end of the year. Technically, it’s fantasy, I guess …

“Tomorrow,” an Elizabeth and Darcy short story

Happy April! Today, I offer a sweet and silly short story based on this month’s theme, “Arts and Allurements.” That phrase comes from Lady Catherine’s speech to Elizabeth outside of Longbourn (the same speech in which she calls Elizabeth an “obstinate, headstrong girl”):   “This is not to be borne. Miss Bennet, I insist on …

Consequence of Courage-A Few Thoughts

  Hello, dear Janeites! How happy I am to have a chance to chat with you today about my upcoming book, “The Consequence of Courage,” set for release in early fall. This book is not like anything I have written before, as Mr. Wickham is a predominant character not associated with Lydia. I’m not a huge fan …

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 …
