Hoppy Easter Eggstravaganza Giveaway Hop ☼ April 17th - April 24th



As a Regency romance author who writes Pride and Prejudice adaptations, my first inclination while researching topics for this blog post was to integrate my love of Jane Austen’s work and the history of some of the most widely celebrated Easter traditions.

I came across a blog post titled Jane Austen’s Easter, which discusses both topics at length. One of the things that resonated with me was the mention of the Easter Holidays as a time of traveling and visiting family.

Ah, that explains my longing to travel during the Easter Season. I especially love visiting my favorite city, Charleston, South Carolina, at Easter.  Alas, this year’s harsh winter season wreaked havoc on my family’s spring break travel plans obliging us to stay close to home. My consolation is there’s always next Easter.
