It began with the Internet. And Jane Austen.
Talk about an unlikely combination!
Jane Austen’s Persuasion provided the inspiration as I wrote and posted serialized stories. To keep readers coming back for more, I developed my signature style: intertwined plots, cliffhangers, and laugh-out-loud humor.
The comedy I come by in my job as a teacher—there’s never a dull moment with teens!
Published books:
Darcy By Any Other Name : a lighthearted Pride and Prejudice body-swap romance
Mercy’s Embrace : A Persuasion-based Regency romance in three parts (these should be read in order): Book 1 – So Rough a Course; Book 2 – So Lively a Chase; and Book 3 – The Lady Must Decide
A Very Austen Christmas and A Very Austen Valentine anthologies, with Robin Helm, Wendi Sotis, and Barbara Cornthwaite
Sir Walter Elliot’s laughably awfuful advice (eBook): Marrying Well for Fun & Profit
In case you’re wondering, my fiction is for everyone, even teens.
Works-in-Progress:
At Beyond Austen (summer, 2019): So This is Love : a Charlotte Lucas / Pride and Prejudice Regency romance

… and here at home
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband. And I love cats, but right now I’m too busy to have one. Which is kind of sad.
This is great. Thanks for following me.
