Blog postOy. I haven't posted since June? Life is speeding along at such a pace, I can't process it. The little man in my life is pretty all-consuming. I can't believe it's already November! Obviously, I didn't manage my annual Twisted Austen story. I'm truly sorry about that, as I greatly enjoy the event. Look for a revival next year. NaNoWriMo begins today.

Blog postReposted from Austen Authors Imagine, if you can, that you have never read Pride & Prejudice, never saw a film version, and never heard of Mr. Darcy. It's an exercise in which I constantly engage, and still it is incredibly difficult. I first read the book almost 30 years ago, when I was twelve or thirteen, and am so familiar with the story that any memory of my first impressions of6 months ago Read more

Blog postThis is a repost from Austen Authors: https://austenauthors.net/the-rice-portrait-of-jane-austen/. How clearly I recall writing this blog post in March of 2011. I was six months pregnant with my daughter and spent the bulk of the morning at a lab getting my second glucose test for gestational diabetes. I whiled away the hungry hours devouring the new evidence that Jane Odiwe, author, artist, and10 months ago Read more

Blog postI can't believe I did it! It was a very close call this year, and while I logged over 50,000 words, I did not get anywhere close to my personal goal of 150,000. Oh well. The project is now shelved until 2019. It's party time!1 year ago Read more

Blog postPART ONE / PART TWO / PART THREE / PART FOUR / PART FIVE / PART SIX George spent two hours that second day at Pemberley ensconced in the library, reading through entries made in a much younger Mr. Thompson’s hand. The next morning he continued the task before breakfast, attended his first lessons in Mr. Carson’s tutelage, and returned to the library later that day. This pattern continued on1 year ago Read more

Blog postPART ONE / PART TWO / PART THREE Following the best dinner in which he had ever partaken, and which he thankfully managed to survive without making any major etiquette blunders, George was called into Mr. Darcy’s study for a private conversation with his aunt and uncle.

Blog postAnnouncing my NaNoWriMo novel for 2018! Da da da da! Tales of Less Pride and Prejudice.

Blog postOh, wow! This is super last minute. Somehow or other, I have managed to finish this story in time for Twisted Austen to start (on time!) on October 24rd. This year's story is, as always, a bit of a brain tease. It's called Young Wickham, is a Pride & Prejudice/Mansfield Park mashup, and will certainly defy your expectations. I can't wait to hear what readers think! As usual, the story will be1 year ago Read more

Blog postOriginally posted at AustenAuthors.net. While posting my Twisted Austen story, I am Lady Catherine, back in October, I received a lot of comments regarding a reference to an 18th century beauty treatment called pigeon water. This is indeed a real thing, used by none other than Marie Antoinette, who was said to have bathed her face in it every day. I hunted down the recipe for its preparation in2 years ago Read more

Blog postPosted originally at AustenAuthors.net. I'm writing this in advance, but if all goes as planned, my new son will have been born two days ago (at 8:13 AM on the 27th, a healthy 22 inches long and nearly 9 and a half pounds!). As I prepare to welcome the newest member of the family, our very own Baby New Year, my mind inevitably turns to what Jane Austen had to say on the subject. Though not a2 years ago Read more
