Like many authors last year, I lowered the prices of some of my books. I don’t think any of us realized that the crisis would last as long as it did, but we were happy to help people stuck at home to entertain themselves without spending as much. Now, a year later, many of us… more goodness …
I was inspired to write this post this past Tuesday night, when I decided to prepare for watching The Curse of Oak Island on television by making popcorn and hot chocolate. I’m sure others have done posts about it before, here at Austen Authors, but since it’s been a long time since I’ve read one,… more goodness …
I had the pleasure recently of finishing my 28th book. In previous posts, I’ve shared an excerpt and the cover, so, many of you have been anticipating its release. Darcy’s Unwanted Bride is one of my longer novels, coming in at just over 63,000 words. It’s over 300 pages. 🙂 As I have said before,… more goodness …
Usually, I write books that are sweet and light. It’s so common that I chose “sweet escapes” for my tag line. The book I am finishing now (hopefully, in the next three or four days) is a little darker than what I generally write. The new book is called Darcy’s Unwanted Bride. It’s set… more goodness …
Welcome back to Austen Authors! I’ve been hard at work on a new story. Titled, Darcy’s Unwanted Bride, this tale is a bit darker than what I usually write, but I have to say it’s been refreshing. I’ll share an excerpt below, but first, there are a couple things I wish to share with you… more goodness …

For all of us, 2020 has been a rough year. I was no exception. Changes, good or bad, always throw me off (I require stability to be creative), and this year was one big, massive, unstable change. LOL I knew in the summer, when I spent weeks without writing anything more than blog posts, that… more goodness …
I’ve mentioned this date before in my December posts, but for those who don’t remember or who are new to Austen Authors, twelve years ago today, on December 7, 2008, I lost my mom. While it still saddens me, I’m not as overwhelmingly so as I was a couple years ago. As always, time heals… more goodness …
As I’m sure everyone knows, November in the USA means Thanksgiving. The holiday is only one day, and it’s nearer to the end of the month, but some of us, myself included, like to spend the entire month reflecting on what we are thankful for. Jane Austen, in Pride and Prejudice, used the word “thank,”… more goodness …
I love being organized. It really only happens in my professional life, sadly, but I do enjoy it. One of the ways I organize myself is with a thing called a Kanban board. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this tool before. A Kanban board is a project management tool, though it can also be used… more goodness …
If you know me at all, you know I am one of the least fashionable women in existence. My favorite apparel when I’m not one hundred pounds overweight is jeans and a t-shirt. (My favorite fat clothes are leggings and t-shirts, so …) Totally not what’s in or has been in style for the last,… more goodness …
I was writing something the other day (I can’t remember what now … I recently dropped two projects that were going nowhere and began a Christmas story) and the topic of perfume came up. Caroline needed a personal perfume, a scent that was hers alone so Darcy could tell just with a sniff and no… more goodness …
