RIP Jane Gardam, one of my favourite novelists. This review of her work is a few years old, but it gives an excellent overview. www.theparisreview.org/blog/2022/04...

Sunday is Mother's Day in the UK. To celebrate, I've written a new Crime and Prejudice story entitled "The Importance of Being Wickham". The story is set in Regency England and the word "handbag" wasn't in use, so practise saying in your most outraged tone, "A reticule!" dl.bookfunnel.com/7f2ar969d1

Did you know that the Ukrainian word for ‘suit’ sounds like the English word ‘costume’? The ones wearing costumes at the White House meeting with Zelenskyy were the two clowns* who attacked him. (*Substitute your own word - the more creative the better.) And here’s another leader without a suit.

Fresh from my excitement at hearing from Mr Bingley (aka Crispin Bonham-Carter), I’ve written a blog post about smuggling in Jane Austen’s time. There's a link in my blog to free story about Mr Bingley’s imagined brush with smugglers. julialmiller.net/blog/smuggli...

Crime and Prejudice is now available from Orchard Bookshop in Adelaide Arcade. It's described as one of Australia's premier boutique bookstores, and has a wonderful collection of old and new books. It was hard to walk past a first edition of Pride and Prejudice in the display cabinet. One day . . .

I've heard that it's good for authors to share pictures of everyday activities, like baking, so people can relate to them more. I hope there are a few others whose cakes aren't always perfect. On the plus side, cakes that fall apart yield more broken pieces that I just have to eat myself. 😄

All artists love good reviews! “[Crime and Prejudice] is an absolute treat! It perfectly captures the wit, charm, and eccentricities of Austen’s characters. The humor is both clever and uproarious, with the characters’ scandals and misunderstandings making for plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.”

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath. 👉 uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvi...
