WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS ~ JAN 14-15

It's that time again where writers share 8-10 sentences from their writing. I'm continuing on with my story of Caroline. I love writing the thrust and parry between hero and heroine, where they're not ready to admit their attraction to the other party.

Georgiana’s soft laugh brought Caroline's attention back to her and Lord Nathan. She longed to have the same undivided attention. Evidently sensing her study of him, he shifted his gaze toward her. She couldn’t look away, although her mind...

Tidbit Tuesday

Fresh from the pages of Sue Barr's WIP
I've been working on a Jane Austen Fan Fiction. If you've read any of my Weekend Writing Warriors posts, you've been introduced to a few of my scenes, albeit only ten sentences at a time.
I thought I'd give you a longer run on one of my favorite scenes.


“Where I go and what I do is none of your business. You are neither my husband, nor brother. You most definitely are not my keeper.”He pressed closer, and her breath almost stuttered to a complete stop. Id...

Review - An Uncommon Courtship

An Uncommon Courtship by Kristi Ann Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book very much. From reading the previous books in the Hawthorne House series, I was familiar with the character Trent. We knew his as a fun loving, have no care young man and it continued in this story as well.
At first, I became frustrated with Trent, with how he basically ran away from his duties as husband. If I were his mother, I'd have boxed his ears. As it was, this allowed the reader to see how the bonds of...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #12

Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warrior post. I'm continuing with the story of Caroline.

Mr. Darcy is dining with the Bingley's & Hurst's. He has announced it is tradition for his family to host a ball prior to the wedding. Darcy's family is noble and proud, spattered with various Earl's and Viscounts and Caroline well remembers the manners, or lack thereof, of the Bennet family.

“We host a ball Thursday prior to the wedding. As both Charles and I, along with our brides shall depart dire...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #11

Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warrior post. I'm continuing with the story of Caroline. This scene precedes my previous post, but that's okay.

Caroline has just discovered that her brother Charles is to be married to Miss Jane Bennet. As ghastly as the she finds this, what infuriates Caroline more is the fact that Mr. Darcy will be wed the same day to none other than Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Five years of planning ruined in one fell swoop.

She pivoted away from the window and sat on a&n...
