There is so much to do when getting ready for a book launch. So many graphics to make, things to do with so many sub parts, it is a full time job before the launch and then after. I do nothing else except things for the book for several days. But, I can watch TV…

Yes, that’s me. Distracted when the going gets rough. I’m so scared of ending the book wrong and making everyone mad that I’ve avoided working on it the last two days and have instead been making up cross stitch patterns. Sorry. I’ll get back to work on the book today!

I am truly thankful for all the reviews, with helpful feedback and ones just to tell me they can’t wait for the next chapter. You  will be amazed at how much they help on tough days. Yesterday was a tough day. I was an hour into my drive to my parent’s house when my mother…

LOL.   In other news I believe my sinuses are better but today is another day of my being absolutely exhausted. I woke up exhausted. It feels like I don’t even have the energy to walk across the room. I don’t know what is wrong but it is really affecting my work. I didn’t write…

Sinuses are still killing me. My throat is killing me. I normally write by dictation but have not wrote all week thanks to sore throat. 🙁

Babou has been rolling around on my keyboard tray, laying on the keyboard, attacking the mouse so that chunks of text have disappeared. Thank goodness for CTRL Z which undoes the last action.  That damn cat. I don’t want to kick him off because he only wants head scratches about once a day. But it’s…

Somehow, someway I managed to do my back in on Saturday. Went to a Halloween party Saturday night and all I could do was sit in a recliner in the corner and not move. Very festive! 🙁 So no writing was done yesterday or today. Hopefully the chiropractor can jump on my back or whatever…

Insomnia how I hate thee, let me count the ways…

I just banged out over 7,000 words on Compromised! I did a search on Amazon and found that there are two already published JAFF books called Compromised. I’m obviously going to have to rename it before I publish. Suggest some names! Compromised and Crabby? Forced to Marry? Darcy’s D’oh? Ball and Chain? Caught and Compromised?…

I made a vision board and put it up. My cat knocked it down. I put it up in a new spot. My cat knocked it down on my head. Apparently I am not to have any goals other than his needs and wants.

I just finished writing the epilogue of Pride and Prejudice and Secrets.  Whew! I need to edit it, then get these new chapters edited.  ARC team get ready as the book may be going out to you on Friday.

I ran across these photos online. It’s of the Regency dress parade that opens the Jane Austen festival in Bath. That would be so much fun to be part of!  I love the photo of the police with the tiny umbrella.

According to my dictation software, “Darcy” is actually “Darth C”.  A new villain in the Star Wars empire?  Darth Vader better watch out!  LOL

I’m sorry readers. I have the worst headache today. There probably will not be a chapter posted today. I may try to edit through it, or give up and lie down with ice on my head and a washcloth on my eyes.  

He’s teasing Elizabeth about cows again in Chapter 23. I’m so excited because I can see the end from here!

The Sequel to Pride and Prejudice and Poison now has a real title! And book cover!  Hooray! Pride and Prejudice and Secrets

I was having a hard time scrolling through Amazon, searching for certain Pride and Prejudice variations and I got tired of it.  Fed up with it.  So I created a site with categories for the many P&P variations. Pride and Prejudice Variation.com I have a contact form so you can tell me what categories need…

I rely on the reviews for each posted chapter of Pride and Prejudice and Poison at fanfiction.net, for feedback regarding how the story is going, what readers think will happen next and what I’ve gotten wrong about Regency England. Every review is read though I don’t comment on them as I don’t have the time.…
