Blog update and a LMD review
Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 01:01PM Hi all! Once again I am tweaking with the website! Gotta keep you all on your toes hunting down the info! No, seriously I am ever endeavoring to streamline and concisely share. I try very hard to honestly reveal who I am, what my saga is about, and convey my themes and writing tone so no one can leave my website unsure. So, what is new?
Excerpts: I have added a page of excerpts for each novel. I may change them from time to time, but probably not. These snippets were chosen to offer a nice variety of glimpses into each book for those who are newly discovering me. As I have said a multitude of times, I do not wish for anyone to be unsatisfied. Be informed of what my vision and style are before purchasing so that time and money are not wasted!
Synopsis & Purchasing: With the same concept of keeping it simple and being informative in mind, I have revamped these pages for each novel. Links to online retailers are there with a brief synopsis of each novel. The review pages are unchanged, but remain a great way to hear what other readers have felt about my books.
Portrait Gallery: I moved the link up to the Darcy Saga section so it is more visible. I am very proud of the Gallery and the collection of images I have acquired and organized for each novel. I do encourage readers to flip through the albums to enhance your reading enjoyment and comprehension.
Calendar of Events: I am still working on this page, but wanted to have one place where I can list my appearances and other events I think may be of interest. About the time I think I have received my last invitation to speak or sign books, something else comes up! Plus I wanted to alert folks to meetings, festivals, or other occasions that pertain to writing, Austen, reading, etc.
Moving on to great news - Rheanna wrote a stellar "A" review for Loving Mr. Darcy at Try Reading My Mind. Yippee!! What can I say? I never tire of hearing from satisfied readers. And the priase is nice too!
So cute, fun and heartwarming to see the Darcy's love for each other grow exponentially! In Lathans second book the Darcy's journey away from Pemberly to Darcy House their London Home where love, conflict, and chaos ensues. I love getting to know the Darcy's through the authors writings. It seems with each book they become a more cherished old friend.
I was happy to see the original and some of the old characters resurface. (As we all know and love Lady Caroline De Bourgh haha). But the real gems were getting to know Lady Anne (Catherine's ill daughter), Mary, Georgiana and Lydia's ex-right hand Kitty a little better. And of course meeting Raja and Fitzwilliams Uncle George was a delightful humorous episode in itself. You can't help but to fall in love with these characters all over again.
And once again I was flabbergasted as Sharon continually mixes the classic P&P, the 2005 movie, and historical significance into a novel that the reader can relate to today. Its seems to me I'm addicted to this series and the only prescription is ......more Darcys.
Please pop over and thank Rheanna for a lovely review AND for making me her "Author of the Month"
