    A Little Update

    I’ve been taking a much-deserved (in my own mind!) break over the Christmas season and thought I would post a few thoughts here regarding the end of the year and the one to come. I love Christmas and am always sad when the season comes to a close. Yet in the end of the season, there is new hope for the coming year. I’m not one to celebrate the new year much, as to me it’s just a continuation of the cycle of life. It’s also a reminder that I’m now a year older! Even though there is still a lot of winter to endure (anyone acquainted with me knows…

    Updates

    If you have visited the site, you will know that I haven’t updated in a long time. That’s changed, as now the information there is all current, including new releases, progress meters, and so on. For my neglect I will blame various projects and life, though if I am honest, it’s also due to a certain amount of laziness and not really being a big fan of updating websites. I intend to be current with my updates from now on, especially with respect to new releases and making certain everything is up to date. The progress meters I might not update daily, but I don’t intend to leave them for…

    Something More Substantial

    As I posted yesterday on A Glimmer of Gold, my new novel, Something More Substantial is available today on Amazon, Kindle, and audiobook. Here is the cover, description, and the link! In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet meets Fitzwilliam Darcy in Meryton, where Mr. Darcy’s concern for his sister and general reticence leads him to insult her. But what if Mr. Darcy did not meet her there, instead making her acquaintance in other circumstances more favorable to their understanding? When she visits Rosings Park and her friend, Charlotte Collins, Elizabeth does so with no notion that Fitzwilliam Darcy even exists, for Netherfield Park remained empty the previous autumn. As is his…

    A Glimmer of Gold Announcement

    With the loss of Austen Authors, my partners and I began to consider our own blogging site. I can now announce that A Glimmer of Gold is now live and will be blogging on a schedule in the next days and months. We’ll average about 3 – 4 posts a week, so plenty of content. However, unlike Austen Authors, this will not be a Regency England Based Blog. Instead, it will focus more broadly on the romance genre, and will stray to other topics on a regular basis. Our tagline is “Romance and a Whole Lot More” and we mean to make use of that leeway! Here is the first…

    Memory

    I thought I would post a quick update with a video today. If you have looked at the front page of the blog, you’ll see that I’ve got a pair of WIPs listed there. More Agreeably Engaged is a novella, or perhaps a little longer, a simple story about Darcy and Elizabeth putting aside their pride and prejudice soon after the ball. Work is proceeding apace and I estimate release on about the third week of February. The New Mrs. Bennet story is just that. I seem to have a thing for killing off major characters of late, and the victim in this one is Mrs. Bennet. The identity of…
