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 around Christmas, and I also moonlight as the choir director in my local congregation. This Christmas will be exciting as we’re doing a full cantata. The choir is nailing it, and I’ll be looking forward to the presentation on Christmas day itself!

Perhaps of greater interest, though not greater importance than the celebration of the Savior’s birth, is what is happening in my professional writing life. As always, I have been hard at work of late creating my newest entries into the world of Regency fiction. I have two coming up for release before Christmas, one of which I will speak of later, which will also have a joint audiobook release. The first, however, is to be Every Possible Amends for which I posted an excerpt last week on this site. If you’d like to see that excerpt, you can go here.

Today I am pleased to release the description and the cover for Every Possible Amends. I’ve been really excited about my covers lately, as my brother directed me toward a company that does great covers at reasonable prices. Thus, I give you Every Possible Amends, which will be available on Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, paperback, and hardcover on Thursday, November 17.

Elizabeth Bennet has always regretted her mother’s ways and her ability to embarrass Elizabeth at every turn. What would Elizabeth do if another was equally invested in seeing the Bennet sisters married to men as soon as may be?

On the passing of Mr. Henry Bennet, his wife and daughters fear the loss of their beloved home to his heir and cousin, a man to whom they have never had the benefit of an introduction. But when Mr. Collins takes control of his inheritance, he surprises them with the offer to allow them to remain in their home. Mr. Collins has a deeper purpose, however, for he has decided it is his duty to see his cousins married and bends all his thought toward that objective.

The new gentlemen in the neighborhood, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Mr. Charles Bingley, seem the perfect candidates, for they are excellent men, wealthy, and show a pleasing preference for Mr. Collins’s eldest cousins. While their interest is genuine, both men find it difficult, for Mr. Collins’s determination to ensure the courtships’ success leaves much to be desired.

As the lovers attempt to know each other better and find their happiness, they must contend with well-meaning but ridiculous relations and opposing forces determined to ensure they never come together. It is said that love conquers all, and they must believe it will, for otherwise, a cousin determined to offer them every possible amends might drive them apart!
