Are you ready for the holiday season???

I’m excited to share that my new Pride and Prejudice variation Christmas novella, Unwrapping Christmas, is now available!

This is a low-angst, low-steam romantic comedy with all the emotional feels! It brings Elizabeth Bennet and William Darcy into a modern London Christmas—complete with a Bennet sister’s chat group, chaotic family dinners, badly behaved dogs, and all the uncertainty of reaching month three of dating someone new.

If you enjoy:

Cozy Chris...

Welcome to our Pride & Prejudice prequel! P&P: Prelude to Pemberley tells the story of the time leading up to the events of Pride & Prejudice, including what Darcy and Elizabeth were doing and thinking, Georgiana Darcy’s story, the events of Ramsgate, how Mr. Bingley came to lease Netherfield, and much more! Join us on our journey as the Austen Variations authors post the events of 1811 in real time on the date they happened – 214 years in the future.

Hi friends!

I’m so excited to share that my latest release, Some Little Alteration, is now available in paperback—and, as of yesterday, in Kindle Unlimited as well!

To be honest, I had originally planned to hold off on the KU launch until after the new year, but in the spirit of the season (and with Jane Austen’s 250th birthday celebration fast approaching!), I decided to give a little something back and move it in now.

But that’s not all! To celebrate, I’m also giving away one signed paperbac...

Happy book birthday to Under the Netherfield Mistletoe! I’m excited to get this story out to you. Originally I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it, since it was just a bit of holiday fluff I scribbled while I was stressed out last spring. Apparently my Muse knew what she was doing, though. One of the beta readers happened to be my German translator, and she’s insisting on translating it right away because it’s “so moving and uplifting” and will give people hope at a time when we need it so...

Hello, dear readers!

While drafting my newest Christmas story, I accidentally tumbled head-first into one of the most delightful research rabbit holes I’ve ever encountered. All I wanted was a little inspiration for Mr. Darcy’s romantic gift-giving… and suddenly I found myself deep in the history of The Twelve Days of Christmas. To my utter surprise, the song is far older—and far stranger—than I ever imagined.

Most of us grew up singing about partridges, turtle doves,...

If you’re anything like me, you’ve read Pride and Prejudice so many times that you can practically recite Mr. Collins’s proposal while brushing your teeth. (A hazardous activity. The line about “your portion is unhappily so small” almost made me choke on toothpaste once.)

But here’s the thing: Jane Austen’s most famous couple, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, are not trapped forever in 1811 Hertfordshire. Oh no. They’ve been time-traveling, globe-hopping, fantasy world visiting, and occas...
