Launch Month Update

The month when one of my novels is released is always extremely busy and filled with excitement. I now anticipate the craziness and prepare myself for it well in advance, at least as much as I can. April 2011 when The Trouble With Mr. Darcy was released will go down...

Launch Fun & Giveaways!

I LOVE RELEASE MONTH!! It is crazy, no doubt, but the joy of chatting with new and established fans all over the world, visiting interesting blogs where I am the guest, sharing my thoughts on the latest novel and Pride & Prejudice, and giving away books is AMAZING! I don’t...

Looking into the Past

Preparing to re-post my guest blogs from the virtual tour for In the Arms of Mr. Darcy got me to thinking about ALL the blogs and interviews I have done over these past two years. It has been a whole bunch! All of the links are archived, of course, but...

Week #3 Guest Blogs and Reviews

The third weeks of virtual touring to promote In The Arms of Mr. Darcy did not begin until Wednesday but then it was jam packed! The reviews trickled in and I was fortunate to have five different web-places host me so I could talk about my newest novel. So fun!...

Week #2 Guest Spots

The second week – more or less – of my virtual book tour for In The Arms of Mr. Darcy starts today at Historical Belles and Beaus. I was invited to write a blog addressing what I like best and least about the Regency Era and writing within it. Not...

Guest Blog: RomConInc

 A special thanks to Barbara Hemming who not only listed Austen Authors and gave us a chance to announce our new blog on the Historical Blog of RomConInc, but who has also granted me a day! In celebration of the release of In The Arms of Mr. Darcy on this...

Guest Blog: Linda Banche

My friend Linda was kind enough to allot me a space on her blog so I could chat about In The Arms of Mr. Darcy. I was inspired by a question I saw posted on the Beau Monde asking, “Is the family saga dead?” Obviously I have a strong opinion...

Time! There is no time!

What a hoot! I opened up the various guest blogs I wrote during the virtual tour for the My Dearest Mr. Darcy release and this one was next in line, perfectly falling on the schedule when I will be crazy busy at the RWA conference. Time, and how to manage...

Why I Write a Saga

Today, as this posts, I am hanging out with my family in the deepest part of the South, probably dying from the oppressive humidity or being attacked by a foot-long bug of some kind. Still, I am sure I am having a great time! Hopefully all of you are watching...

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,...

A Universally Acknowledged Truth

Time to share another one of the guest blogs written for the My Dearest Mr. Darcy virtual tour. This one was for Seductive Musings and I chose to talk about marriage as it was in the long ago days of yore! Enjoy….. Perhaps I am unusual, but I have always...

Birthin’ Babies

This is a blog I wrote for Fresh Fiction as part of my virtual book tour for My Dearest Mr. Darcy. Once again, as with most of the blogs I wrote, I turned to history and the research necessary to bring the Regency world alive. Here, as you have probably...

Hunting Down History

This was a guest blog I wrote while on my virtual book tour for My Dearest Mr. Darcy for the website Hist-fic Chick. “Hunting Down History” is something I have to do all the time as diligently as possible. Here is a bit on how that process goes for me,...

Thriller, Regency Style!

I promised to share the guest blogs I wrote and posted during my virtual book tour for My Dearest Mr. Darcy. I will pop one in from time to time over the subsequent month, starting with this one that I wrote for Blodeuedd at Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell. I hope...

Jane in June at The Book Rat

My new friend Misty is hosting a month-long Jane Austen extravaganza at her blog, The Book Rat. Several posts a day will be added for the entire 30 days of June including reviews, guest essays, loads of giveaways, poems, letters to Jane, etc. Over thirty different Jane-lovers have been invited...
