I was happy to realize this past weekend that I am three or four writing days away from finishing another book. I think I’ll have a party when this one is complete (though it will be an admittedly small party, just me and my dog, given This Current Crisis). <3 The reason I’m… more goodness …
I was at the bakery the other day, writing. The lady who runs it, Viki, was chatting with me when I was on a break. (I do writing sprints … 20 minutes of writing followed by a five minute break, then repeat.) As we were talking, the subject of headaches came up and she asked… more goodness …
William Collins is one of the Pride and Prejudice characters that most JAFF readers love to hate. JAFF authors, myself included, have done all manner of things with and to him, some good and some not so good. For example, Leenie Brown made him loveable in Master of Longbourn. In To Save Elizabeth, I made… more goodness …

I wrote my first Christmas variation two years ago, and many of you may remember how hard it was for me. I got the book out just before the holiday that year. Last year, it was a little easier to write a Christmas book. Still, I did not get it published until the day after… more goodness …
Many of you know that I live about an hour and a half from Cleveland, Ohio. You may also know that the Jane Austen Society of North America is holding its 2020 Annual General Meeting in Cleveland. This means that I have the opportunity to attend an AGM. It also means I need to at… more goodness …
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with an interesting topic for my posts that’s not been done a dozen times before. People tell me it’s okay to add my own spin on things, but I confess I do like to be different. This month, I wanted to tie into the season we are coming into… more goodness …

I was super excited a couple days ago to finish a book. The third book in my racecars series just kind of poured out of me. Since that’s my favorite way for stories to happen, I was elated, and when I finished, I was so thrilled I was bouncing off the walls. LOL I seriously… more goodness …
Last month, I told you the story of my newest Work-In-Progress, about how I asked blog readers and Patreon supporters to help me name it, how I’m learning to use the Three Act Structure to plot my stories, and how one of my friends took pity on me and helped me organize my thoughts into… more goodness …
