The Honeymoon is Over!
The Honeymoon is over!!! Now that I have your attention, let me reassure you (especially those of you who personally know my husband and me) that I’m not talking about trouble in our marriage. In fact today is our anniversary! … Continue reading
On the Road Again
When I first sat down to write The Darcys of Pemberley six and half years ago, I had no idea where it would lead me. I’ve since discovered that creating a sequel to a much-loved novel, such … Continue reading
On Tour
I’ve been traveling. Virtually, that is. It’s called a blog tour, which is the 21st century version of a book tour. My first stop? The wonderful land of Austenprose, a popular Jane Austen blog self-styled as a place where “There … Continue reading

The cover is done, and I’m delighted with it! I wanted it to be just right. Despite the old saying, people can and do judge books by their covers. That’s not necessarily bad, but it is important. The title and the cover … Continue reading
Finishing the Fragments
You may have heard on the news that a fragment of an unfinished Jane Austen novel called The Watsons hit the auction block this past week – a few yellowed pages of hand-written manuscript, complete with cross-outs and corrections selling at … Continue reading
I Came; I Saw; I Formatted
Victory! After about three days of concerted effort, and mind-numbing frustration, I think (fingers crossed) I’ve managed to get The Darcys of Pemberley formatted for CreateSpace, the print-on-demand arm of the Amazon publishing machine. It shouldn’t have been difficult. After all, a template … Continue reading
