Contratulations!
There are several more three-book giveaways in the works for the summer and fall.
Stay tuned to this website for details!

Less than a month remains before school resumes. I must write faster! On the docket is a multi-volume Austen Regency romance that I wrote with Susan Kaye. Ten years ago Love Suffers Long and is Kind shook the world of Austen fiction. It's long and involved with characters galore--and readers say it's addicting!

We'll be releasing this as a series of five (inexpensive) Kindle ebooks in time for Christmas 2010 with an all-new ending volume to follow. For the price of a latte, you'll be able to see what all the fuss was about!

I'm also celebrating the release of the final Mercy's book, The Lady Must Decide and plotting a follow-up volume for spring 2012. For this you should thank my mother. "I didn't want these books to end," she wailed ... and what could I say? So there will be more Elizabeth, more Admiral McGillvary, more Ronan! More William Elliot and Lady Russell and Sir Walter. Oh boy! Hang on, Mom! I'm thinking!

Mercy's Embrace

Jane Austen's beloved Persuasion provides the backdrop for Mercy's Embrace, my romantic romp set in Regency England, featuring the so-opinionated Miss Elizabeth Elliot. These books were a kick to write and are fun. Even my so-manly stepdad giggled as he turned pages!

You can purchase them through the Crown Hill Writers' Guild Amazon store, AustenEmporium, at the Wytherngate Press website, or at most on-line bookstores.

Are they any good, you ask? Why not read Chapter 1 and decide?
