‘Christmas Celebrations’: An Anthology of Jane Austen Short Stories

The image has two versions of the Jane Austen Christmas Anthology 2022. One is in English and one in Spanish. It has a short story by Monica Fairview and 12 other authors who write Jane Austen stories. The cover shows a dark sky with white Christmas trees and stars. I’m very excited to let you know that I have a little GIFT for you for the Holiday Season.

I have a FREE SHORT STORY in a Holiday-themed anthology. And I’m not the only one. Apart from me, are three other Austen Variations authors in the anthology: Joana Starnes, Marilyn Brant and Leslie Diamond. In total, there are 13 short stories for you.

The Anthology  is available both in English and in Spanish. How exciting is that?!!! As you may already know, Cristy Huelsz has translated quite a few books...

Mr. Darcy Steals a Kiss: Chapters 3 and 4

Howdy from my corner of the world! How is everyone holding up this blustery December? Our weather here in Western Oregon has been predictably wet. Gray. Cold. But mostly wet. Sigh.

Which is why I have been enjoying working on this bit of fluff this winter as a diversion from all things gray and yucky.  Don’t expect this book to contain anything serious or profound. If it does, it was an accident, I swear. But it’s also longer than my typical Alix James novellas, which usually top out at about 20...

The Truth About Family Cover Reveal & Bonus Scenes

I always love finally being able to tell people about a new book! It takes month (and months and months—haha) of work before I can talk to a selected handful of people about what I’m working on, and it’s tough to keep quiet. Today, I’m pleased to introduce you to The Truth About Family. Be sure to comment for a chance to win one of three e-books of it! (The contest is open worldwide.)

The root of my inspiration is from the trope in which Elizabeth is not a Bennet. She often ends up discovering s...
