HAPPY EASTER 2011!

Wishing all of my readers and supportive fans a marvelous holiday weekend!   A snippet from The Trouble With Mr. Darcy~~ Baskets of eggs sat among the bowls of paints, dye, and adhesive to decorate with the glass pieces, feathers, beads, seeds, ribbons, lace, and more.

The Heart of a Poet

It isn’t an accident that I decided that this particular blog written while on the virtual tour for My Dearest Mr. Darcy would be reposted on my website today, the 19th of July. When I wrote this essay it was partly in response to those naysayers who criticize my romantic,...

Birthin’ Babies

Bring in the Clowns!

I have written so many pieces within my Saga that were sheer fun to write, but one of my all-time favorites was the Pemberley Summer Festival in Loving Mr. Darcy. Just one aspect of why that chapter was so entertaining to pen was the clowns. This blog from my September...

The Series Continues…..

While I was waiting for the edits to roll in I enjoyed several months of freedom, so to speak. It was the “lull period” as I called it. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy was doing it’s thing with no further involvement needed from me, and I knew the above mentioned...

Loving Mr. Darcy ~ Journeys Beyond Pemberley

Loving Mr. Darcy ~ Journeys Beyond Pemberley will not be released until September – and that seems so far away still – but as we know in the publishing world, stuff starts happening way before the actual release date! So while my head has been wrapped up in finishing my...
