Forgive the self-promo! My cozy holiday novella, which I scribbled when the world was too dark to focus on my fantasy series, is out today. So unlike anything I've written in the last decade, but just what I needed now. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXJDB1Y1 #JAFF #PrideandPrejudice #JaneAusten

Remember, remember the fifth of November.... but gotta say, in the US this is a November 5th worth remembering! Lots to celebrate! If you want treason and plot, remember, remember the sixth of January. :)

Interesting piece of trivia for writers of #Regency or #JAFF - "Etiquette decreed that gloves were one of the few gifts which a gentleman could with propriety present to a lady who was not his wife." Plot bunny, anyone? #downtherabbithole collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O120114...

TFW you upload the final version of a book that's been eating your life - and then suddenly have no idea what you used to do when those characters weren't constantly chattering in your brain. Who me, lost? #phew #amwriting #JAFF #gaslamp

I'm much happier being an indie novelist than I was being trad pubbed. Except when it comes time to write the blurb. I'd rather write a whole new book! Sigh.

I realise that reading vast amounts of fiction, and buying about three times more than even I can read, is neither a substitute for therapy nor a solution to everything out there. However, in my defence, just fucking *look* at everything out there.

We don't ask for much. All we really want is a good book, a pet sleeping at our feet, and some precedented times.

Elizabeth Bennet walked to Netherfield with her petticoats 6 inches deep in mud. Who cleaned them? I wish I could see this exhibit about Jane Austen's Working Women - including some real-life ones who inspired her. #Austenesque

We don't do much on the Fourth of July, but I like to go out on the deck at dark and watch the distant fireworks because, well, fireworks? They're fun? But tonight they just made me feel sad.

Sweating from the heat, or just in a continual state of inelegance? Thinking of all those dealing with heat in Europe and the UK. "What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance." - Jane Austen #heatwave #Austenesque

My Austenesque gaslamp fantasy trilogy, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage, has decided to grow up to be a tetralogy. Which is a bit of a surprise to me, but the author's always the last to know! News ad an outtake at www.pemberleyvariations.com/2025/06/02/n.... #JAFF #gaslamp #historicalfantasy

Yay! I'm so ready for a new @kjcharleswriter.com book!
It's coming up for preorder as we speak--actioned on ebook, print next week--and will be available wide. It takes the various sites different times to put it up so bear with me! There will be an audio version but it's still under construction.
