During the month of July, and for part of June, on my Facebook Author Page I shared teeny excerpts every day. The endeavor was for promotion, of course, and included a giveaway. As for the giveaway winners, I will be selecting those and announcing the winners next week as part...
I have been a super busy little bee this past two weeks! So busy that I have been remiss in updating my readers and this blog. Oh my! Let me sum up as best I can, in regards to where I am with the release of Darcy and Elizabeth: Hope...
My upcoming novel, Darcy and Elizabeth: Hope of the Future, is FINISHED! Yes, I typed the final sentences on July 9 and after a few tweaks and other prep work, had the completed manuscript in the hands of my editor, Gretchen Stelter of Cogitate Studios, by July 12. Whoot! Now,...

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...
I know it is WAY past time for an update on what is happening with me and, more importantly, the status of Darcy and Elizabeth: Hope of the Future. All of your queries on Facebook, my website, and via email have not gone unnoticed, trust me. The enthusiasm is marvelous...
