I am so glad that you have asked that question. You are the first one to ask it at GoodReads, but you are not the first to ask it in my life. My husband, my agent, and a number of reviewers at Amazon have also asked it. For a long time the answer was "No," because I could not see an opportunity in any of Austen's other novels - certainly not like there was in "Emma" - and I respect Austen too much to force a story on her works. However, at long last inspiration came and I am well into another Austen-based mystery. And as I am having even more fun writing it than I had writing "The Highbury Murders," I think it will work out well. I will let you know when it is available.(less)

Thanks for asking! In the same genre, I have written "The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen's Emma."

I have glimmers of ideas for others, but they're going to take some head-pounding before I figure them out.

Note that I have written several Greek-mythology based books, such as "Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus," but that they are very different. I think they're good, but readers should not expect them to sound like Jane Austen.(less)

Hunting Photos of Feathered Friends

After admiring her photos, I asked Beth Waterbury, wildlife biologist about how she manages to take such wonderful photographs. Here’s what she wrote. Thanks, Beth!

What sort of equipment do you need to take good pictures of wildlife?

A big question! Endless books and blogs have been written on this subject with wide-ranging opinions. I’ll give you my 2 cents, but I encourage you to read up on the m Read more of this blog post »

How nice of you to mention it! Yes, we were thrilled with SD's review of the trilogy - just as we were with yours. Both of you seemed to experience what we wanted our readers to experience.

BTW, they make good presents for this holiday season! Or any time during the year!
