Welcome to my blog, where I share my love of books, travelling, cats and other things... but mainly books!
An avid bookworm since childhood, I write the sort of stories I love to read – heart-warming, character driven and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, I find places inspiring and the setting of my novels often becomes as much a part of the story as the characters.
I lean heavily towards the upbeat and insist on a happy ever after. As one of my favourite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, ‘let other pens dwell on guilt and misery’.
I love travelling, words, cats and wine but never in the same glass, and I currently split my time between Switzerland, where I live with my husband and imaginary cats, and England, where I live with my characters.
I can’t believe this was chapter 20 already. I’m enjoying this story very much and can’t wait to see where it all goes.

I’m sensing shades of Northanger Abbey, with Elizabeth being cast out of the house with no protection by an unreasonable father. I hope Anne’s plan to help Elizabeth works, perhaps giving her refuge with the Musgroves. Such fantastic twists in this story!
I’m looking forward to your cover reveal. Best Wishes!

I am enjoying this story especially since it is a variation of my 2 favorite Jane Austen stories. I do hope Anne can secure a way for Elizabeth to stay. I also am hoping to read that Frederick awakens soon and is able to be whole in mind and body. Thanks for sharing and the best of luck with all the writing and editing.

Elliot is so selfish not to mention his dear Elizabeth. I’m dying to know what Anne has in mind. Is she off to Meadowbrook? Waiting…..

Sir Walter is ***************! Elizabeth can’t leave so I hope Anne is successful with her plan and I really, really hope it involves Elizabeth staying with Darcy and Georgiana? Please?

I agree with you, Jennifer. I think Anne will seek Mr Darcy’s help.
I love the story. Elliot sinks further and further. I think someone has to find out what Miss Elliot did last summer that warranted her father rescuing here… Then Mr Darcy can extricate himself from their blackmailing…

On one hand I can’t wait to see how it ends, on the other I want this to be deliciously long so it never ends. Feel free to spend ALL your time on editing, not even publishing any more chapters here, so we can get the compete book from you all the faster 😉

If there’s one thing you can rely on with me (and Ada has been dragged in on this one), is that when I write Regency stories, they are loooooong! 😉

Every time I think I couldn’t possibly loathe Sir Walter more than I do, you post another chapter. 😒😠 His comeuppance will be cause for celebration, when it finally happens. I think I know where Anne is going. 😉

Of course you know where Anne is going! You know how we work! 🤣
Yes, we have made him rather evil, haven’t we? Is he over the top? Believe, me toned him and Elizabeth Elliot down a bit already!

Oh no…he isn’t over the top at all. He and Elizabeth are deliciously wicked. I’m dying to discover their secret. I can’t wait for Karma to catch them. 😉
