Did that title grab your attention? I bet it did! A tad misleading, I admit, as THE Mr. Darcy didn’t magically coalesce into a flesh and blood human, nor did Matthew Macfadyen pop into Bardstown for the Christmas holiday. Bummer indeed, but I did receive the next best thing thanks...
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...
I am SO happy to be returning to a regular blogging schedule….and SO thankful to my faithful readers….and SO excited to welcome new visitors (who will hopefully become new readers of my novels)….that I simply MUST say thank you with a The official entry form, powered by Rafflecopter, is at...
In the United States, turkey as a holiday dinner meat is associated most strongly with Thanksgiving. However, Christmas runs a close second. In my family tradition, glazed ham with fresh cloves has forever been our dinner choice, turkey the special treat for Thanksgiving. Whether choosing turkey for either or both...
Most years I share live performance videos which are my favorites. Topping the list in the contemporary recording artist list is the a-cappella group Pentatonix. Personally, I think they are phenomenally talented and their harmonizing never fails to elicit goosebumps and send chills up my spine. My favorite Pentatonix performance...
In 1988 the movie Die Hard starring Bruce Willis and the late great Alan Rickman was released. Surprisingly, considering the later hoopla, it was NOT released over the Christmas holiday but rather on July 15. Being fans of action flicks, we saw the movie in the theater and loved it....
Howdy y’all! I have greatly ignored my poor blog these past several months and can honestly offer no excuse. Many other distractions have taken over my life, including my sweet puppy Olivia Marjo, who was the subject of my last blog post. In January! Yikes!! Indeed, we have had a...
Between Christmas celebrating and surprises, and an eventful 2018 so far, I have ignored my blog. My apologies! Allow me to share who has kept me occupied and I am sure the reason for my distraction will be understood. On December 20th (the same day I last posted a blog,...
On Thursday I began this journey of reminiscence. Methodically, blog post by blog post, I looked into the past from the beginning days of my website/blogging and publishing adventures in 2007 to 2011. With over 700 individual blog posts and 2,500+ images documenting these ten-plus years, I could only touch...
As I continue on with my week of spotlighting the Darcy Saga as a whole, I am turning to the pages of my blog. But first, don’t forget my awesome GIVEAWAY and the super fun “Test Your Darcy Saga Recall” quiz! Details of prizes and how to enter are on...
For the next few weeks, I will be here and there all over the blog-o-sphere, sharing the news of my latest novel with fun quizzes, interviews, and historical posts. Just about everywhere I am including a GIVEAWAY! Links are also on the left sidebar and will be added to as...
The celebration marches on, at least for me it does! As I thrill in the publication of my latest novel, the biggest chore is getting the word out to potential readers. In this fickle business, a three-plus-year hiatus is nearly enough to become a forgotten dinosaur. To be honest, I...
CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE!DANCE TO THE DARCY JOY MUSIC! I know I am not the only one who never thought this novel would be finished. Late better than never, DARCY & ELIZABETH: HOPE OF THE FUTURE is now available everywhere! Time to toss the confetti, pop the champagne, and blow the horns!...
Whew! Has it been a busy two weeks or what? I have been running around like the proverbial headless chicken, but the good news is that all my hard work has paid off. DARCY & ELIZABETH: HOPE OF THE FUTURE is officially released. Whoopie!! At the moment I type this...
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...
