This just in from the United Kingdom

Why is criminalization the response to this problem? Why do the women always have to pay? Oh the injustice of it all. Seriously, though, I say arresting those who imitate Jane Austen is not severe enough. I have tried and tried again to pull through just one Jane Austen novel and after the latest concerted effort, [...]

"Global Warming is not real because weather patterns have stabilized in the last 10 years!" Why statements like this need a little context.

I recently attended the TEDxVancouver event, which was wonderfully done and also useful for being able to network with a lot of interesting people. There was, however, one thing that irked me - nothing to do with the conference logistics but rather a statement or two issued by one of the speakers, Patrick Moore . Just a little background on Patrick: he's one of the founders of Greenpeace, with a major...

In Defense of Classics

Lately, people have been defending their favorite genres, especially from the much hated 'fluff' term. I read a lot of different things. Take a look around here. This year especially I've been reading outside my comfort zone. Some might even suggest many of those books fall into the fluffy category but my real love is classics. Yes, I read dead people. Now most of the commenting on these blog posts...

Mr. Willoughby - is it possible to resist him?

I was very kindly invited to guest blog on Book Nerd Extraordinaire Blogspot. Here's what Jaime Huff has to say about Willoughby's Return followed by my guest post. 'I have been enjoying the selection of Jane Austen sequels, and Willoughby's Return by Jane Odiwe is right there leading the pack. Marianne, in my opinion, was spoiled, vivid and full of life and Jane Odiwe has maintained that spirit as...

Trailer - The New Exploitation Flick 'Bitch Slap'

I don't remember when I first saw something about Bitch Slap . It seems like a year ago, maybe. But indie films - real independent movies - often take circuitous paths to theaters because they lack the funds to roll it out in the marketplace or exhibitors are cautious to take a risk on a movie that doesn't have studio support or whatever it is. So now, Bitch Slap will finally open in the US on January...

The Dream Comes True!

After much thought and prayer and just weeks before my agent took my book: The Northanger Affect out to NY publishers. ((I bumped Pride & Popularity out, and brought NA up due to the hilarious Jane Austen rewrite of a girl addicted to Twilight theme throughout.)) The Lord reminded me yet, again, to contact Utah's own up and rising Valor Publishing. Now having just moved my family of 6 1/2 kids...

What A Surprise !

Hi All Well what a Surprise I had this morning. Andy woke me with the alarm and told me I was off to the Harrogate Stitching Show! It was a total shock to me - I was soon up, washed, dressed, sorted out Bruce and we were on out way giddy with excitement. Kath and hubby Andy had been keeping it quiet (again!). Bless them both. It was wonderful seeing Kath, Christine and Bev again. A real special few...

The Comforts of Bath, 1798: Thomas Rowlandson

In 1798, the famous caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson drew The Comforts of Bath, a series of satiric drawings. The cartoons were used to illustrate the 1858 edition of the New Bath Guide, written by Christopher Anstey and first published in 1766.* Rowlandson depicted both the social and medical scene in Bath just before the period described [...]

“Literary Property Changing Hands” ~ after the auction…

Ever wonder what happens to all those books and manuscripts that show up at auction and then disappear somewhere into the ether, briefly looked at wistfully in the catalogue and then only something you file away in your bibliographic memory chip?? I know I do this with all the Jane Austen materials [see the post my Bygone [...]

Six Reasons for Janeites to Watch an Education

1. Because Carey Mulligan (Pride and Prejudice 2005) is said to be outstanding in this film. The role has made her a break-out star. Sensitive, clever, and intelligent films are few and far between. They save the film industry from catering primarily to young males, whose appetites for Transformers, Saw, and 2012 are insatiable. 2. Because Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility), the school's head mistress,...
