Savvy Verse and Witt Guest Post, Plus an Excerpt at My Love for Jane Austen (Darcy in Wonderland Blog Tour)

The Darcy in Wonderland blog tour wraps up at two wonderful blogs. First I'm discussing poetry and parody in the book at Savvy Verse and Wit (home of one of my beta readers and fabulous poetry editor - isn't that sophisticated? - Serena Agusto-Cox). Next I have an excerpt at For My Love of Jane Austen. It shows what happens just after Darcy comes crashing down through the rabbit hole. Lot's of fun to conclude an awesome two weeks. Thanks to all who participated!

Musings from the Yellow Kitchen Review and Recipe (Darcy in Wonderland Blog Tour)

I love scones! And I love tea parties. So does Alice, which makes it infinitely appropriate that my hostess today at the beautiful blog, Musings from the Yellow Kitchen, should include a delicious looking scone recipe along with a delightful review of Darcy in Wonderland. Here's a snippet. Continue reading at the link below:

But the character who steals the show is little Alice. She is a delight – headstrong and imaginative, with her mother’s impertinence and a sense of wonder that is infectious.  She has no trouble offering her opinions, even when they are not wanted, and is happy to allow her curiosity free reign. While her poor father frets over the bizarre events around him in Wonderland, Alice happily accepts a world in which animals talk and people can grow and shrink with a nibble of food or a sip of some potion. From her first impulsive dash after the White Rabbit to her bewildered participation in the Queen of Hearts’ croquet game, she is never without something to say.

"Sofa Chat" with Sophia Rose at Goodreads (Darcy in Wonderland Blog Tour)

Whew! We're half way there.

Today the blog tour takes me to Goodreads for a sofa chat with the delightful Sophia Rose. She has been supportive of my books from the very beginning and has also posted an excellent review of Darcy in Wonderland. Here is just a quote (read the complete review here).

From the moment I heard of Darcy in Wonderland, I was drawn to it. I thought it exciting that the talented author was turning her attentions to writing a mash-up of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Full of curiosity and anticipation, I began and I only set it down twice before finishing it on a note of complete satisfaction.

From Pemberley to Milton, Review and Giveaway (Darcy on Wonderland Blog Tour)

The Darcy in Wonderland blog tour rolls on! A second day at From Pemberley to Milton brings us a beautiful 4 and a 1/2 star review from hostess, Rita Deodato. I think she described the book particularly well in this passage:

Darcy in Wonderland is not a romance, and readers who merely want an Elizabeth/Darcy story will not find it here, but they will find a beautiful sequel showing us how delightful their life was after they married, and how funny their household became over the years with so many different children. The relationship they established with their children is endearing, and we also have the pleasure of seeing how happy and content they are as a couple.

Also readers may enter for a second opportunity to win the international giveaway of a copy of the book. Please join the fun!

From Pemberley to Milton, Guest Post and Giveaway (Darcy in Wonderland Blog Tour)

Today I'm having my first visit to Rita Deodato's fascinating blog, From Pemberley to Milton, where I am excited to be sharing information about Alice Liddell, the young girl for whom Lewis Carroll wrote his memorable tales. It's a strange story, full with lots of questions, but it's also fascinating, if a tad sordid. As well as the guest post, there is also an international giveaway on the table.  Come join us!

Just Jane 1813 Interview, Review, and Giveaway (Darcy in Wonderland Blog Tour)

Today Claudine at Just Jane 1813 was kind enough to interview me, write a lovely review, and host an international giveaway of Darcy in Wonderland. Please visit her beautiful blog for more, but I just had to include a bit of the review:

This is also one of those heartfelt stories where we’re able to catch up with the Darcys many years after their wedding, and not only enjoy their happiness, but also see how the bonds of parenthood have changed them throughout the years. Readers are reminded once again why we have such high hopes for their marital felicity when we close the final pages of Pride & Prejudice. Alexa Adams’ new story allows us to experience their parenthood in a highly imaginative way.

A Triade of Reviews!

I have a full sweep of reviews to share with you this beautiful, snowy morning! It's going to be a great day - the elves left supplies for snowy day art activities over night, which should keep Eliza busy while the great bake off begins. I have twelve pounds of pecans in need of spicing, and at least six kinds of cookies to make. What a glorious prospect for a cold winter day!

Might receiving three fabulous reviews have anything to do with my high spirits? Absolutely. Let's start at the very beginning ...

First Impressions: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice received a four star review yesterday from Anna at Diary of an Eccentric. She plans to review the next two books over the course of the weeks, so stay alert for those. I'm so thrilled to have my books featured in this way by a reviewer I have come to greatly respect. Please visit her lovely blog:

Second Glances: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice was enthusiastically Laughing with Lizzy over the weekend. This came on the heels of her review of First Impressions. which she also approved. Check it out here:
endorsed by Mrs. Darcy at

Holidays at Pemberley, or Third Encounters: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice Concludes was well received yesterday at Kimberley's Book Life. "A wonderful addition to my Austen collection," she says. Please visit and enjoy this new blog!

More Agreeably Engaged

I've been interviewed! It's been a while since I've done one (not since First Impressions came out). I was very grateful that Janet T over at More Agreeably Engaged (love that title) was able and willing to do an interview, as with all the NaNoWriMo craziness I was having a hard time coming up with new ideas for guest posts. Plus, her questions were wonderful, which gave me a chance to step back, reflect a bit on what I've been doing for the past four years, and consider what I want to do next. I hope you'll read the post and comment. Copies of both Second Glances: A Tales of Less Pride & Prejudice Continues and Holidays at Pemberley: A Tale of Less Pride & Prejudice Concludes are up for grabs!

Great Reviews!

Two of my books received thumbs up reviews at three different blogs last week! I am greatly remiss in not posting this sooner.

Sophia Rose at Delighted Reader gave Holidays at Pemberley: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice Concludes a four star rating! I feel really bad about this one, as Sophia has always been so gracious in her reviews, and I completely failed to tell anyone about the giveaway she offered of the book, which is now closed. So sorry! Anyway, you can read her review at: http://delightedreader.com/yours-affectionately-holidays-at-pemberley-by-alexa-adams/

Meredith of Austenesque Reviews posted her thoughts on Holidays at Pemberley: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice Concludes last Friday. She and I started blogging around the same time, and we have long noticed a similarity in taste between us, so her approval of my novels always means a great deal to me, let alone the fact she has become quite a force in the promotion of the Austenesque genre! Read her review and enter to win a copy of the new book here (this one is still open - one day left!): http://austenesquereviews.com/2013/11/holidays-at-pemberley-alexa-adams.html#comments.

Last a new acquaintance: Mrs. Darcy at Laughing with Lizzie has enthusiastically embraced my stories - well, at least the one she has read so far! She posted her review of First Impressions: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice last Saturday. I look forward to reading her opinion of the next two and hope they are as favorable. Read her very gratifying review here: http://laughingwithlizzie.blogspot.com/2013/11/first-impressions-by-alexa-adams_30.html.

Guest Post at Laughing with Lizzie

I recently became acquainted with Mrs. Darcy, executive chief in charge at Laughing with Lizzie. As the name suggest, she is all hospitality and elegance, inviting me to share with her readers how I cam to write my Tales of Less Pride and Prejudice trilogy. Do please visit her lovely blog and check out my post. Her reviews of all three novels follow soon! http://laughingwithlizzie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/alexa-adams-guest-post.html

A Regency Christmas at Austenesque Reviews

My holidays officially started today (only three days before Thanksgiving, which makes me more punctual than the nation's retailers), with the beginning of what I suppose I must call The Holidays at Pemberley Blog Tour, despite my sense that the name conjures up images of a far more orderly proceeding than mine. Caveats aside, this is very exciting for me, in no small part because it is the first time one of my books was released early instead of late, making this my most organized marketing attempt yet! Let the fun begin!

Today I have a guest post at Austenesque Reviews discussing some of the Regency Era Christmas traditions mentioned in my book. There is an international giveaway of Holidays at Pemberley. I am all anticipation for Meredith's review of the book, which she will post on Wednesday. Please dear friends: check it out, tell your friends, and help me spread the word!

http://austenesquereviews.com/2013/11/guest-post-giveaway-with-author-alexa-adams-2.html

Oh! Almost forgot to mention that they started giving out the NaNoWriMo winner badges today! Check mine to your right. The Madness of Mr. Darcy is currently at 65,000 words, and there are still six days to go!

Holidays at Pemberley Giveaway at My Jane Austen Book Club

There are two copies of Holidays at Pemberley, or Third Encounters: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice Concludes up for grabs at My Jane Austen Book Club, along with a very revealing excerpt from the book. Please stop by and sign up to win!

Tea at Pemberley with Kitty

I'm so excited to be participating in the fabulous Tea at Pemberley at vvb32 Reads! Tonight is all about Kitty, and I hope you enjoy her reading of a scene immediately proceeding the climax of Second Glances: A Tale of Less Pride & Prejudice Continues. I usually strive to allow no spoilers in the scenes I share with the blogosphere, but I made a big exception in this case. Now there is nothing left to be done but fret over the decision. I'm sure Kitty feels pensive about it too. A hearty round of supportive comments would be soothing to us both.

 http://vvb32reads.blogspot.com/2013/05/kitty.html

There is also an opportunity to win my fair book, for which I am still eagerly awaiting more reviews. It's interesting to see that First Impressions has received more new reviews since Second Glances' release. Dare I hope there is a tidal wave coming? So far, those I have received are generous. May the trend continue!

Be sure to check out all the Tea at Pemberley events, which are being kept secret until they happen. Today there is a really yummy looking rout cake recipe posted, which I'd just love to try. All I need are some currents and rosewater ...

Austenesque Extravaganza at Austenesque Reviews

I'm so pleased to finally be able to tell you all about the spectacular event being planned by one of my very favorite bloggers, Meredith of Austenesque Reviews. Austenesque Extravaganza is a "month long celebration of Austenesque novels and writers ... each day of the week will have a different theme and event, like a weekly twitter party with several Austenesque authors." Meredith has lined up nearly 50 writers to participate in this unique event, including myself, and it is sure to be a fabulous blog tour. The party starts in August, so mark your calenders. You won't want to miss this one!
