Elizabeth’s Choice – an excerpt from Gianna Thomas

Elizabeth’s Choice – an excerpt from Gianna Thomas

Comments 0 Comment

Hello again! How nice it is to be back with ‘A Glimmer of Gold.’  One of my favorite books is ‘Elizabeth’s Choice,’ and I thought that you might like some information concerning the writing of this particular Pride and Prejudice variation. Unlike my other books, this one required quite a bit of research. Part of that included learning about clipper ships. Although clipper ships reached the height of their popularity in the 1840’s, the Baltimore clipper ships began to be…

What’s Up Wednesday – An Announcement and an Excerpt

Comments 0 Comment

As an author, I’m always trying to find new ways to reach potential readers. It can be a bit to manage, as each vendor has their own rules, back offices, and the like, which can become burdensome if one does not take care. Until now, my standard practice has been to release new works on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, and then to put that content up on other vendors when the Kindle Unlimited term has run its course. My standard…

Image by Pexels from Pixabay I seem to recall mentioning my intention to rewrite and improve one of my earliest publications, “Hidden Desires”. When I began, I thought, foolishly it would seem, that I could finish the modifications and get it published in time to mark the new year. Today, I want to announce that I am fully committed to fulfilling that promise—twelve months later, but still in celebration of the dawn of 2025. I’ll spare you the reasons for the delay. Let’s…

What’s Up Wednesday – The Bennet Inheritance

What’s Up Wednesday – The Bennet Inheritance

The process of coming up with new ideas, even for books based on Pride and Prejudice is one I do not find all that difficult. As I have written more than fifty of these, I must assume that most of those out there reading this will understand that. There are so many different ideas to explore, so many instances where if a different path had been taken the ending (and indeed the middle and even the beginning if you go back…

Saving Anne de Bourgh – Release Announcement and Excerpt

Saving Anne de Bourgh – Release Announcement and Excerpt

Now seems like a propitious time to do a post about the release of Saving Anne de Bourgh, which goes on sale tomorrow. The release of Four Days at Netherfield was a little under a month ago, meaning I will have two new books out in a short time frame. Usually I would not do this, but Saving Anne de Bourgh is also an audiobook release, and I did not have any control over the release date. It was unfortunately delayed a couple…

Miscellaneous Monday – Four Days at Netherfield

Miscellaneous Monday – Four Days at Netherfield

I enjoy posting excerpts. It’s always interesting to offer a glimpse of what is in the pipe and hear what people are thinking. Before I publish each book, I do a rigorous editing program which allows other eyes to look at my manuscript, and ends up costing me many hours of time revising, dealing with any language not appropriate for the genre such as anachronisms, and trying to find that exact word that will say what I wish to say….

A new excerpt from “Hidden Desires”.

A new excerpt from “Hidden Desires”.

As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I’m currently working on a complete rewrite and expansion of my early novel, “Hidden Desires”. Progress has been excruciatingly slow, mostly due to my lethargy at tackling the work. That’s not to say I’ve abandoned the project. On the contrary, I am proud of the changes and improvements I am making to every facet of this story. To that end, I have another excerpt for your perusal and enjoyment. As a bit of background,…

An Excerpt – Four Days at Netherfield

An Excerpt – Four Days at Netherfield

For today’s post, I thought I would go back to a subject that always seems to be of interest–an excerpt. On this occasion, I have several to choose from as I have three books in various stages of the writing progress. I chose Four Days at Netherfield because it is likely the closest to seeing Amazon’s virtual store shelves. As usual when I post excerpts, this is hot off the presses with little editing done, so you may fine an error…

What’s up Wednesday? An excerpt.

Image by Amy Art-Dreams from Pixabay I don’t know about anybody else, but it seems I have been working on this story forever. I originally expected to publish in January, but various delays, not the least of which is my own laziness, have slowed me to a crawl. Every time I get going, something happens to pull me away from the computer. Once I start writing, I had better not quit, because I know the chances of returning to the manuscript that day…

What’s Up Wednesday – Mr. Darcy’s Return Excerpt

As you can probably see by the title, this post was supposed to be published yesterday. For the delay I offer sincere apologies, for I was anticipating this post, which is an excerpt! I hope you will all forgive me if I offer this little tidbit to you, a story that you’ll be able to read for yourself by the end of the month! The story is called Mr. Darcy’s Return, though that might change if whim and fancy take me…
