Deliberations and Debates

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, and I don’t know how long it will be until I post again. For now, we might be looking at monthly updates until things quiet down a bit. The new school year started at the beginning of March, and since then I haven’t had much energy, even when I’ve had time. So anything extra has mostly just… not been getting done. That said, it’s not like I haven’t been doing anything. Before March, I completed timelines for most of Jane Austen’s

The Watsons Beginnings For those of you who have been paying attention, you know that my prequel short story arcs have been expanded to five prequel short stories. Originally, I had eight ideas. I merged them down to three because I was going to gloss over a couple of things. Then I realized the things I was glossing over—such as the 1787 event of the Turners coming to take away Emma, and the 1789 event of the family moving to Stanton—did not actually deserve to be glossed ov

I have finally received my print copy of Refined and Returned Volume I in Korea, and it has given me the motivation that I've been lacking to get back on track with my writing. My handsome Aegi posing with his copy of Refined and Returned Volume I . I have updated the series page on Amazon and wish to share it here to let you all know what is in store for the future. Since Arc Two has now been split into two arcs, there will be four in total. However, the newly minted Arc Th

We’re finally in the last stretch before my first books officially launch. Technically, my prequel story has already been out as a free download, but it’s going live on Amazon this Saturday. That version’s all cleaned up and finalized — eBook uploaded, checked, and ready. As for Refined and Returned, Volume 1  — that one’s been a journey. I got it back from my editor, finished all the corrections, and uploaded the final eBook last week. The past two weeks have been all about

As you know from my last post—and if you didn’t see it, check it out—it wasn’t part of the “Behind the Scenes” series but in the main blog, and it talked about freebies! Everybody likes freebies, right? Austen Related Works The Watsons Beginnings The Watsons Beginnings is a series of short stories related to the Watson family of Jane Austen's fragment The Watsons and is meant to give more background to the family's fortune, connections, and personalities as written in my com

I thought the Behind the Quill  series was over. However, there’s a whole new set of issues and little things that have come up. If you’re reading this because you’re interested in learning about my process—or just the process of putting out your own books—then hopefully this short edition series will be helpful to you. As you know, I’ve written Book One, but it’s a big process. People try to tell you that the writing is the hardest part. And maybe for some people, that’s tru

I’ve already talked about the importance of timelines and background—but now it’s time to talk about the family tree. Because frankly, none of the background connections I’ve built—like the Gardiners, Middletons, Jenningses, and Dashwoods—would have worked without the family tree to support them (and myself in remembering the details. The timeline influences the family tree. The background influences the family tree. And the family tree, in turn, shapes both of those. Now, I
