I recently went on a vacation with my sister. We’ve never done anything like this before, and I wish we had. It was great to spend that time with her and do things together. We went to Kentucky, visiting the Ark Encounter on Friday and Kentucky Speedway on Saturday. The last time I was at … Continue reading Austen Authors July 23, 2018: Another year, another race, another reader

Austen Authors May 28, 2018: Poems and updates
It’s May again, and I have been an Austen Author for two years. What a fun ride it has been! 🙂 I always have my May post on Memorial Day, which makes me giggle. I’m not sure who will read it … maybe I should have done a giveaway. LOL Anyway, I’m looking forward to … Continue reading Austen Authors May 28, 2018: Poems and updates
Austen Authors April 30, 2018: Therapy Dogs in Austen?
Last year, I wrote a post about dogs. I couldn’t have imagined then that a dog would play a central role in one of my books, but it has. In my current Work-In-Progress, called To Save Elizabeth, Lizzy has a therapy dog, a Great Dane named Brutus. Now, therapy dogs were not a “thing” in … Continue reading Austen Authors April 30, 2018: Therapy Dogs in Austen?

Austen Authors March 5, 2018: If Jane Austen were on Facebook
I am between releases and as often happens, had no idea what to write about for the blog today. As I was drifting off to sleep one night, I remembered a fun graphic organizer I had seen when I was teaching, on a site called Freeology. The result is below. It was meant to be … Continue reading Austen Authors March 5, 2018: If Jane Austen were on Facebook
Austen Authors February 5, 2018: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gold Mine Owner
Please note: The giveaway mentioned in this post is closed. You probably remember that last month in my post, I compared Regency England with the American Old West. At the time, I told you that my book wasn’t quite ready to put out into the world. In the intervening weeks, it became ready, and Darcy’s … Continue reading Austen Authors February 5, 2018: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gold Mine Owner
Austen Authors January 8, 2018: Comparing Regency England and the American Old West
I am currently in the midst of editing my NaNo story, which is set in the American West in 1878. It won’t be ready to publish for another week or so, and I didn’t realize how close my posting date here was, so my excerpt and giveaway will have to wait until February. 🙂 However, … Continue reading Austen Authors January 8, 2018: Comparing Regency England and the American Old West
Austen Authors December 11, 2017: Keeping it short and sweet … and giving books away!
Please note: The giveaway mentioned in this post is closed. This past Autumn, I accomplished two major-to-me things: I “won” NaNoWriMo, and I completed a sweet Christmas story. <3 My NaNo story is now being edited, so talking about that must wait. 😉 Last year, I had a rough Christmas. I have had many of … Continue reading Austen Authors December 11, 2017: Keeping it short and sweet … and giving books away!
Austen Authors November 13, 2017: A New Book and A Giveaway
Please note: The giveaway mentioned in this post is closed. Most of you probably know by now that I have recently published the second book in my racing series. Georgie’s Redemption sounds like it’s all about Georgie Darcy, but in reality, the book shows how Will and Liz handle her teenage rebellion and the family … Continue reading Austen Authors November 13, 2017: A New Book and A Giveaway
