The Pieces of "8" are a great way to get a quick sample of The Nod/Wells Timelines and my style of writing but they're just the tip of the iceberg. Explore a vast universe of speculative fiction that's only getting bigger!
With work on "The Nemesis Legacy" winding down, my focus has begun to shift back toward other projects, such as an omnibus edition, containing the first third of The Nod/Wells Timelines, which will arrive later this year, and the universe's compendium, scheduled for 2027.
My latest read: "Death of a Clown" by Catherine McCarthy - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy speculative fiction that fills the heart as much as the mind, this is an experience you don't want to miss!

My latest read: "Badlands" by Gary Kruse - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy crime thrillers with hints of horror and the supernatural, this one's worth a look!
In addition to the write-up about the upcoming P+P cast:* More than 78K Austen novels have sold this year thus far (compared to 64K for all of 2024)* The Folio Society's special edition Austen collection will range about $1000 USD
A great reminder that reviews don't have to be super involved and detailed to be effective. By the way, "8" and its story singles now have well over 50 positive ratings on Goodreads from all sorts of readers. Why not give them a try today?

A thing I love about Austen's work is how immensely quotable it is. All you need to do is open up one of her books and you'll soon enough find a quote to your liking!
My latest read: "Kenai" by Dave Dobson @davedobson - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're searching for a new science-fiction novel, this one's worth a look!
To celebrate Jane Austen's 250th, Austen Connection is hosting an Austen read-along during 2025. They are currently in the midst of “Mansfield Park!” For the full schedule, go to austenconnection.substack.com/.

Kate Beaton is a comic artist who had a semi-regular web series called Hark! A Vagrant! (harkavagrant.com/). She's ended the series, but her archives are a wonderful backlog of her poking fun at history.
My latest read: "A Bleak Remedy" by DS LaLonde - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're looking for a meaty horror novel with a fresh take on vampires, this one's sure to satisfy!

I was not aware that a new S+S is coming down the pipeline! It's from Focus Features (who also did P+P 2005) so hopefully this will be good. Additionally, Fiona Shaw plays Mrs. Jennings here, AND she's playing Lady Catherine de Brough over at Netflix's P+P. She's on an Austen kick!
My latest read: "Colossus with a Poison Tongue" by Coy Hall - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're a fan of far-future post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories oozing with vivid depictions of horror and the occult, this one's for you!
My latest read: "One Day All This Will Be Yours" by Adrian Tchaikovsky - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy time-travel stories, or even if you don't, this one's worth a look!

Over at Netflix's Tundum blog, they announce the complete casting of P+P. Rufus Sewell is Mr. Bennet! And my heart will not protest, nor lie, but I will be throwing Mr. Bennet a bit of my female gaze.

A little reminder that all of my books are available via bookshop(dot)org, which means that pretty much any local book store can stock them, and benefit from their sale online. If you haven't tried Bookshop, here's a great place to start!
"Cutter's Deep" is my personal favorite but if you like creepy and unsettling horror, you really can't go wrong with any book or story from Ronald McGillvray. As far as I'm concerned, this is an empirical fact. 📚🙂👍
My latest read: "The Forgotten War" by Adam Hulse - Author - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're a fan of multi-genre speculative fiction, this is a book you won't soon forget!
A well-thought-out piece on Austen, her influence, and where to start reading her works. The author is cognizant that where to start with Austen is super subjective so she breaks down what book you should read and why.
My latest read: "Fleet of Knives" by Gareth L. Powell - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoyed "Embers of War" and like yourself some full-blown space opera action and adventure, this one's definitely worth a look!

Yay! #VirtualJaneCon is here! If you don't want to hang out with me for 30 minutes talking about Austen merch, I provided a quick bullet point of my presentation.
As you might expect, when Ronald McGillvray and I created The Post Mortem Report over three years ago, one of our goals was to inform readers about us and our work as authors but we also like to have fun, something I think comes across nicely in our latest trailer for the show. 🙂
There are over 100 movies and TV shows dedicated to Austen and the Brontë that are available on most US streaming services. Everything, from variations of Pride and Prejudice to modern adaptations of Austen and the Brontës books, is available! excessivelydiverting.net/
