Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer's Journal! Here we are, at the end of January. Two days ago, I walked around the yard and noted the daffodils beginning to peek their heads out of the ground. Today, there’s something like six inches of snow. Needless to say, I’m unhappy about it, which leads … Continue reading Writer’s Journal: Self-care update

Thursday’s 300: Darcy’s Unknown Betrothal #7
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Here's another excerpt of my new Regency story. Mr. Gardiner was required to climb Oakham Mount just before this. While it's undoubtedly a small hill, for a gentleman (or tradesman) unused to such activity, it's a bit of a hike! 😉 Did you know that for a monthly pledge of … Continue reading Thursday’s 300: Darcy’s Unknown Betrothal #7
Writer’s Journal: Updating Back Matter
Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer's Journal! In most books, mine included, there are “parts” to the book.

Writer’s Journal: Making Covers, Part 2
Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer's Journal! The most important part of a good cover is, in my opinion, the image. It’s what draws a reader’s eye. The image a writer uses on his or her cover should match the genre in which he or she writes. If it doesn’t, a reader might … Continue reading Writer’s Journal: Making Covers, Part 2

Thursday’s 300: Darcy’s Unknown Betrothal #5
Welcome back to Austen Promises! Here's another excerpt of my new Regency story. In this one, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy gets just a bit ... arrogant, shall we say? LOL Surely you did not think he could go a whole book and not annoy his betrothed just a bit, did you? Well, I guess in my … Continue reading Thursday’s 300: Darcy’s Unknown Betrothal #5
Writer’s Journal: Making Covers, Part 1
Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer's Journal! Covers are a vital part of a successful book. It’s always best to get a pro to make your covers, but some of us like to do things ourselves. 🙂 My covers break every rule of graphic design, I’m sure, but I like them. I get … Continue reading Writer’s Journal: Making Covers, Part 1
