What’s Up Wednesday – I’m Glad That’s Over!

What’s Up Wednesday – I’m Glad That’s Over!

Writing is not an easy business. As with anything, it takes practice and dedication to improving one’s skill, and while I can not speak for other authors, I am always finding something new I’m doing wrong, things that I can do better, or habits in my writing that I try to avoid. Creative writing can be a completely different beast altogether. While a certain measure of research goes into any writing, much of creative writing comes from within. One thing…

What’s Up Wednesday? An excerpt, of course

What’s Up Wednesday? An excerpt, of course

I don’t have much today, other than a blow by blow description of the trouble I have run into preparing my home for the installation of new windows next week. It is doubtful that is of interest to anybody except for me. What I have instead is an early excerpt from my latest WIP, If Not for the Entail. The story revolves around the fate of Elizabeth and her family following the unanticipated passing of Mr. Bennet, and a despicable villain’s…

What’s Up Wednesday – Plugging Away

What’s Up Wednesday – Plugging Away

Though my brother spoke of the coming of spring, I have not seen anything of it yet. We are still cold and we are getting enough snow to bury us until June, as this photo from my front window will attest. As I spoke at some length about this in my last post, I will not bore you any further. But you can likely tell by my choice of image that I am eager to leave the winter behind and…

What’s up Wednesday? An excerpt and cover reveal.

What’s up Wednesday? An excerpt and cover reveal.

Those familiar with my  work know that I have spent the last seven or eight months writing the Elizabeth Said, Darcy Said series. I have finally come to book six, which is the dramatic finish to this saga. As a reward to those who have read these stories, I offer an excerpt, where Darcy and his companions have arrived at Longbourn to find the manor in turmoil because Lydia has run off with Wickham in the middle of the night. Mr….

What’s Up Wednesday – Well, Nothing Really

What’s Up Wednesday – Well, Nothing Really

Today is what’s up Wednesday, where I tell you what is up! Well, there’s not really anything going on with me. I have been listening to eBooks and cleaning my house of late. I just haven’t had much time for doing writing, but I keep hoping that might come sooner rather than later. Something else I have been enjoying is watching movie musicals (though I usually have to watch things in 20-minute spurts). If you didn’t see Spirited with Will Ferrell…

What’s Up Wednesday – A Little Christmas Cheer

What’s Up Wednesday – A Little Christmas Cheer

It is strange to say there is little going on just before Christmas, but when it comes to publishing, there is relatively little going on. I am hard at work writing, but my current project will not see the light of day until at least February or March, longer if the audiobook company decides to pick it up. It has a tentative title: No Indignity so Abhorrent. I hope that does not give you too many shivers. While the book does…

What’s Up Wednesday – Every Possible Amends

What’s Up Wednesday – Every Possible Amends

It’s my distinct pleasure to introduce you to What’s Up Wednesday, a regular theme day where we post something of our doings, updates, and other items that might be of interest to our readers. Christmas is approaching, and most of the major things that are happening in my life revolve around music and writing. Many times I have referenced my love of music and my activities therein. I am a member of a barbershop quartet group, and we’ll be active…
