Austen Authors February 4, 2019: Newspapers in the Regency
I was recently thinking about how I scroll past so much stuff on Facebook, and don’t watch or read the news, and I got to thinking about newspapers. There is a lot to consider about newspapers. Nowadays we can read them online, though not as many are free as there used to be. The size … Continue reading Austen Authors February 4, 2019: Newspapers in the Regency

Austen Authors December 10, 2018: The Little Christmas Story With No Name
It’s that time of year again, when we haul boxes out of attic or basement, dump the pile of mouse poop off the tops of them, and pull out all the pretties within to decorate our houses.

Austen Authors September 17, 2017: Jane Austen’s Writing Desk
I thought for a long time about what I should say in this month’s post. After a few hours of race-watching (it was a postponed race, so I was watching on Monday instead of Sunday) and bouncing several ideas around in my mind, I decided to go with something writing-related.

Austen Authors July 23, 2018: Another year, another race, another reader

The last time I was at … Continue reading Austen Authors July 23, 2018: Another year, another race, another reader
