LOVED the Seurat at the Courtauld. Enjoyed the Dulwich Art Gallery recently, too.

On World Book Day, celebrating JANE AUSTEN'S REGENCY WORLD's lovely review (Joceline Bury) #happybunny #janeausten

"Alice McVeigh knows Austen's characters inside out, never striking a false note. MARIANNE is a deeply touching love story, as well as an assured comedy of Regency manners." XXAlice

I feel your pain. My mum never reads my novels - not even the one dedicated to her - but then she never reads any novels. She's just a non-fiction reader.
My father was much the same, but funnier. He said, of my Austenesque book (set in the 1810s) "It needed a few more car chases."

To celebrate my one-and-only, pen-name-written, scifi action/adventure B-day, it's briefly FREE! The
Kirkus-starred LAST STAR STANDING is, well, me.☺️

I wanted to explore writing as a guy. Specifically, a rebel guy in 2094. Aiden is part of the resistance. Funny and moving! books2read.com/u/mlzMXY

Feeling relieved to have – almost – got to the end of a tough year but Simon is cancer-free and MARIANNE just won Gold in β€˜romance’ in the Literary Global Book Awards, so could have been worse! Here’s wishing you all a happy Christmas and a healthy and peaceful 2026!!! #janeausten250
