Guest Post at Austenesque Reviews + Writing Update

 Gah, it's been so long since I've done a guest post somehow I neglected to post about it here in my blog! So if you didn't see the link on my social channels, I did a guest post at Austenesque Reviews on writing Lady Anne Darcy for A Generation's Secrets.


I had also been intending to give a blog / writing update. My original plan when I left Austen Authors was to keep posting in this blog about once a month, but I've quite fallen off of that pace in the push to publish A Generation's Secrets. I do still have a bit more from the Lake District left to post, but for the next few months I intend to focus more on restoring the posts that were lost when I left Austen Authors so that they're available in this blog. Unfortunately restoring them hasn't turned out to be as quick and simple as copying and pasting, but I had a lot of key posts that touch on various aspects of my books, so I want to ensure I get them back online.

I'm also making great progress on The Crimes of Elizabeth Darcy. I took advantage of the long weekend in the USA last weekend to do a little writing getaway, and have ploughed right on past the 100,000 word mark – it's now at 114,540. Based on where I'm at in the outline I think it's going to clock in somewhere between 130,000 - 150,000 words, which is a much more reasonable length than I've been working in for my past few books! It will still be a while before I've filled all the gaps and edited it sufficiently for an online beta, but watch this space for more updates.
