Yesterday I highlighted my Christmas novella, A Darcy Christmas, with a bunch of excerpts to pique your interest. Read that post HERE if you missed it. Today, as the third day in my planned four weeks of blogs dedicated to the joyous Christmas season, it made sense to shine a...
Welcome everyone! Yes, I am actually posting a new blog after almost 2 years. Yikes! My poor blog has languished while I was on hiatus, of which I am quite ashamed, but sometimes a person needs to take a breather. Right? To quote the Roman poet Sextus Propertius~ “Always toward...
As my BLOG TOUR for Darcy and Elizabeth: Hope of the Future marches on, several of the giveaway deadlines have passed and the winners have been selected. Each hosting website has announced the winners, but I wanted to make note here as well. So many fabulous hostesses and so many...

It has been over three years now, since March of 2014 to be precise, when I published Darcy and Elizabeth: A Season of Courtship, my “prequel to the sequel” novel. That novel, the last published in my name, is the first volume of a two-part “Prequel Duo.” Why the long...
Yes, you read the title correctly! I have something new on the market. Whoot! This time around (as I continue to work on my novel) I created a non-fiction picture and history book. A “coffee table” book of sorts, simply not as ginormous as the usual tabletop display photo book....

Until very recently my experiences with fishing have been practically non-existent. I have vague memories of fishing (or attempting to fish) in the small pond in my hometown. Most often I caught pollywogs and frogs by hand, which in my opinion was way easier than trying to hook a fish!...

I have to share this coolness with all of you! It is double… no… TRIPLE cool because not only does it involve me, but also the Greater Louisville Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA-GL) — which I am proud to be a part of — and also my fabulous husband...
Saturday was the official kick off of “Derby Season” here in Kentucky, so it seemed appropriate to devote myself to what is, without argument, the biggest yearly event to Kentuckians (and to horse enthusiasts everywhere in the USA). Today happened to be my scheduled blogging date on Austen Authors, and with thoroughbred horse...
It is a tremendous pleasure to welcome my pal and fellow Austen Author Brenda J Webb. Brenda came into my life at a time I was feeling especially alone and betrayed. She gave her friendship selflessly, her honesty and sincere support a soothing balm when I desperately needed it. Now...
