What’s Next?

The Trouble With Mr. Darcy has not celebrated its official release – that will begin on this upcoming Friday and will be AWESOME fun so be sure to come back then – but since the pre-orders arrived and were shipped out very early this time around many folks have read...

Article on Kings River Life

Locally I am kept pretty busy with various groups and fun events. My newest venture is the Fresno Area Regency England Fellowship that I have begun with my pal Carrie Flores. Yesterday an online magazine very popular in the area where I live cast the spotlight on our fledgling group....

New Regency gowns

I purchased these for my daughter and I to wear for Jane Fest, which has sadly been canceled, but we will wear them for other events. Aren’t they fabulous? Found on Etsy from Historical Fashions, Hour Glass Designs, and Hedges8. Amazing garments!        

I have wonderful friends and fans!

I received this from Pamela, a reader in Oregon, who has recently discovered my novels but been a great supporter and encouragement to me. I just had to share! Thanks Pamela!      

2010 Retrospective

For some twenty plus years I have written a family Christmas letter to enclose in my holiday cards that summed up the events of the year for those friends and family members we do not keep in constant contact with. Most years it would be a struggle to come up...

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is MY day! Totally selfish I shall be! Spending the day doing what I most enjoy doing – WRITING!! Somewhere in there I will visit with my lovely daughter, who already took me to lunch and a movie yesterday, and tonight my husband will treat me to a nice...

What I Learned at Nationals and a Contest!

At times it seemed like all I did for those 4 days at the Dolphin was eat and talk. No doubt I did an incredible amount of both, but I did have time to absorb information at the workshops and glean from conversations. Some served to cement ideas/thoughts already known,...

RWA National Memories

Whew! It has been a crazy 2 weeks! Actually, more than 2 weeks since we left home on the 18th of July and did not get back home until August 2. I honestly do not know where to begin in recounting my adventures. We did so much as a family...

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,...

The current life of Sharon…..

Hey all! Time to post an update of general happenings in the life of Sharon! In truth life has been fairly quiet for me lately. But, I have learned that “quiet” is a relative term. I am always doing something, after all. So here goes…. Today I am over at...

My article in Lifestyle Magazine!

Months ago I was interviewed for an article in a lovely local magazine called Lifestyle. This free publication is distributed to nearly every household in the Visalia, CA area. It was an honor to be approached and to chat with Diane Slocum about my journey and the Darcy Saga. I...

Last night was the extravaganza planned as a benefit for the Tulare County library by the Friends of the Library Association. I was honored to partake as one of 10 local area authors present to sign and sell our books.The arrangement in the enormous library was fantastic. We each had...

My JASNA Speech

What a fantastic day! I am not all that fond of giving speeches, even if they are getting a bit easier. Nevertheless, it was a tremendous honor to be invited to speak to a group of Jane Austen lovers. A short background: Last fall I was contacted by Carrie Flores,...
