Now and again, Ron and I visit the Blue Mountains, which are just a few hours drive from where we live in suburban Sydney. The scenery is so much different from that of home, and very spectacular, especially from the mountain lookouts. Here are a couple of photos, just to give you an idea.
Enjoy!
Earlier this year, fellow writer and friend, Sarah Johnson, suggested that I might like to try something different: Jane Austen fan fiction. Being a long-time lover of the immortal classic, ‘Pride and Prejudice’, I approached the project with mixed emotions. Excitement and insecurity about my ability to anyways approach doing justice to this iconic work figured high amongst them. At any rate, this is the result: a novelette entitled ‘Longbourn Revisited’, which was published just a few hours ago.
Kudos to Sarah Johnson, of Peculiar Designs, for creating its cover.
Springtime is coming! The weather is starting to warm, and some of the Springtime blossoms and flowers have appeared, to brighten our day.
Here is a photo of a fancy jonquil that grows in our garden. in suburban Sydney, Australia.
