I hope you're enjoying my blog tour as much as I am! Today, I'm a guest on Indie Jane , talking about grandfather clocks, time, and Project Darcy - I hope you'll join me. Tomorrow, you'll find me at More Agreeably Engaged  with Janet Taylor! STOP PRESS! I've just received a review from Kath Eastman -  here it is in full at her blog - Nut Press - here's a little of her review below - she's made my day! I pretty much read Project Darcy in one sitting. Even though I knew at least how Jane Austen's own story would end, I loved spending time with Jane Odiwe's imagining of her again in that period, as well as being anxious to see where the modern-day characters would be at the end of the book - and who with! This was a highly enjoyable read for me because it had a bit of everything: sumptuous period detail - I can imagine that Jane Odiwe had fun imagining the interiors of Ashe, both in Jane Austen's time and in its more contemporary setting; se...

I'm so excited that launch day is here - I'm having a party over at Austenprose  and there's a couple of giveaways so I hope you'll join me there! I love setting a scene in my novels, and I've mentioned before how much I enjoyed writing and thinking about the girls' bedrooms in Project Darcy. Jess's bedroom is a Regency haven with a French bed with buttoned silk upholstery -  On the walls was a collection of silhouettes of people from past times. The profiles of soldiers and debutantes looked across at one another from ebony frames ranged around the marble mantelpiece. It looked as if it had been designed with Jess in mind with its Regency furniture and vast portraits of ladies dressed in white muslin. Ellie   loves anything vintage (how funny, that's just like me : ) ) - and her bedroom has an exquisite deco dressing table -  A deco dressing table complete with a mirrored surface and a triptych looking glass was topped with a selection o...

It's my Official Book Launch of Project Darcy tomorrow, November 5th,  over at Laurel Ann Nattress's blog Austenprose  so please check back then to read an exclusive excerpt from Project Darcy , and to see what we have on offer in the way of prizes and treats . I do hope you'll join me tomorrow for my very special day ! As you all know, Project Darcy is a novel inspired by Jane Austen's wonderful book, Pride and Prejudice , and as this is a very special year, celebrating 200 years, I thought you might like to have a chance of owning a collector's copy! My first introduction to Jane Austen was through the film starring Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier, many years ago, so I think it's very fitting that this little illustrated movie book should be my first prize. Pride and Prejudice It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.    However little known the feelings or views o...
