The Same, Only Different
I’ve participated in a couple of JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) author events recently. And in preparing for them, I realized that, although we all share the same love of Jane Austen’s work, my writing philosophy is a little different than most JAFF authors, and my novels reflect that. Doing things my own way may not be the smartest move, from a business perspective, but I have to be true to mysel

Murder at Northanger Abbey: Sequel to Jane Austen's Spoof on the Gothic Novel:
"Do you ever read a book and enjoy it to such an extent that your mind continues to dwell on the characters and you imagine your own continuation of the story? If that story is Northanger Abbey, then it is no stretch to imagine that the heroine, Cathe"

| The strength of this book as a whole - its impressive variety - constitutes its only weakness for the individual reader. While there's bound to be something that appeals to every taste, the corolary is also true. Not all the short stories in this col ...more | |

Trish wrote: "whats coming up next?"I've got some ideas cooking, Trish, but nothing actually underway yet. I promised myself I wouldn't start writing another book until I finished sorting through my parents' house - a massive undertaking, but I'm just about done! How would you feel about a bit of a time travel story? - a JA fan who gets the chance to travel back to live her life in Regency times. She pictures herself another Lizzy Bennet, but of course things don't go exactly as she imagines. I hope it will be a bridge book to one I wrote some time ago called First of Second Chances. You can read about that one at my website/blog www.shannonwinslow.com. The plan would be to publish the two together. I would also like to put together an anthology about Mr. Collins. Then I have in mind a book about the Gardiners. That will keep me busy for a while!
My pleasure, Sophia! I'd be delighted to have you read them and I hope you enjoy them. They are my "darling children" - all different, but loved equally!
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Shannon! I'm looking forward to reading your books. Love your posts at AuAu.
