  • Trick or Treat: A Halloween Diversion

    Trick or Treat: A Halloween Diversion

    Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween! The kids coming around door-to-door all call out Trick or Treat, but I only have treats, and no tricks at all. Treat Number One: A Short Story Halloween has a long and spooky history. I won’t go into details, but it is a bit of an amalgam of the Celtic…

  • Excerpt from Cause to Repine

    Excerpt from Cause to Repine

    Today I’d like to showcase a chapter from my upcoming release – Cause to Repine.

  • A Tale of Two Soldiers + an Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

    A Tale of Two Soldiers + an Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

    Colonel Fitzwilliam & Lieutenant Wickham As I wrap up my next novel, Propriety and Piquet, I realize it greatly contrasts Wickham and Fitzwilliam.

  • A Little “This” and a Little “That,” Courtesy of the Bingley Sisters + a Bit from Darcy, Himself

    Excerpts demonstrating my “take” on the Bingley sisters, from my new novel by Alice McVeigh It amused me, in Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation, to imagine Bingley’s sisters to be rather more differentiated than Austen imagined them… Caroline Bingley is still desperate for Darcy, but I imagined Louisa Hurst as rather more worldly, clever…

  • The Red Pen!!!

    The Red Pen!!!

    You know that feeling when you have been working on something for forever and think it’s perfect, then another person causally, within seconds of looking at it, finds the flaw you never could focus on? It’s both maddening and exhilarating. On one hand, that’s my baby! On the other hand, how could I have been…

  • She’s Done with Love. He is Not.

    She’s Done with Love. He is Not.

    Or the smitten potential of Colonel Fitzwilliam. We JAFF writers love Colonel Fitzwilliam–and what’s not to love? He has Darcy’s friendship and Lizzy’s stamp of approval. Jane Austen makes clear he is a bona fide Good GuyTM and a good catch. The only fly in the ointment? He needs a lady with some money! Hahaha,…
