Pigs are still not flying and hell (as far as I know) hasn't frozen over yet, but Holdfast Chapter 18 is up a mere two weeks after its predecessor! archiveofourown.org/works/582093...

Alright, chapter 17 of "A Holdfast" is finally up! Alexander gets out his trunk for what is for us a familiar ride to London - only he's forced to take public transportation in this universe.... Art by John Frederick Herring, 1838

So this was the NYT Spanagram from last Thursday. Fitting, as I *finally* have the new draft for Holdfast 17 done and it's off to the beta readers. It really is coming soon!!! The old one never sat well with me and I ended up rewording the entire thing...

Chapter 16 of "A Holdfast" has finally arrived - and so has Georgiana, at her long-awaited coming of age shindig!

Chapter fifteen of Holdfast is up!

Holdfast 15 *is* coming, I promise - hopefully this week! It's just the editing that needs to happen...

I wrote this on Facebook (which doesn't have character limits, so a bit more informative). But please let me know if you have trouble accessing it "with* an account.

When your newly minted four-year-old requests a trifle instead of a cake... Alright! Another excuse to whip out the "Mr. Colbourne Trifle" recipe, oh darn...

Yep!!! I definitely only read and wrote fanfic, but if that counts then the 3+ books should be x-ed too...

Sure, it's a little cold. But what else would I bring along to read at the edge of the same ocean? #Sanditon #JaneAusten
