Suggestions welcome. I like fiction of all genres, especially Gothic, Fantasy, Horror, Historical, with vivid interesting settings.
Absolutely no AI. I support real authors who do real work, not AI-enabled theft.

A friend lived near Basildon Park, which played Netherfield in the 2005 P+P. I toured the home, and it was AMAZING. Since so much of the property was used in the 2005 version, the house had an exhibit celebrating the movie. (Basildon Park is NOT mentioned in the article.)

#ScribesAndMakers 3/22. Tell us about a book you love by an indie author.
So many! So, so many. I basically read only indie these days.
So here's one that you may not ever have heard of, very indie, by an author you most likely don't know.
"The Warrior", the first in a completed series of eight books. Epic Fantasy, leaning towards dark, full of intrigue, with many gray characters and a tortured, serrated world.

This question is familiar to me because I asked a variation of it a couple of months ago. I love the idea of living in a village like Meryton. What about you?

My social media feeds are raving about "Jane Austen's Bookshelf," which means I must push it up my TBR list!

I love seeing Austen's 21s C merchandising being discussed. A friend works for a company with over 20 Austen-themed items for sale. She's going to hook me up with Austen file folders!

#WritingCommunity - is it ever okay to give up on a Writing In Progress #WIP?
Should #writers always finish a project, even if they're not feeling it anymore? Or does this just result in accumulating a collection of unfinished stories?
#Boosts appreciated - hoping to write an article about it on my #blog
#PennedPossibilities 617 — Random: If you’re also an avid reader, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?
Recently, one of those plastic covered wires for freezer bags.
I do have bookmarks, I swear. I was just too lazy to dig one out. (Having said that, I should have bookmarks for me and my books.)
Recently, I asked which Austen/Bronte character you would interview, and I still maintain that it would be Wentworth for me.

A fine speculative-fiction author, my podcasting partner Ronald McGillvray has several books worth checking out, "Cutter's Deep" being my personal favorite.
