Get Kim Griffin's book: Not Quite Miss Austen: Not Quite Series Prequel as a free early Christmas Gift until December 16, 2025

-


As an early Christmas gift for my newsletter subscribers, I'm giving away an ebook copy of my recent release, Not Quite Miss Austen! It's only available free until Jane Austen's 250th birthday on December 16, 2025. It is also available for purchase at most online retailers. I would love for you to get it if you haven't already.

It is the prequel to my Not Quite Series and can be read before any of the other books in my Not Quite Series (Not Quite Mr. Darcy, Not Quite Colonel Brandon, and Not Quite Mr. Knightley), or as a standalone. It's main character is Margaret, and she is the thread through the series. In this book she is a young woman finding her way. In Darcy she is in the end stages of life, and in the other two books she's referred to.

Book blurb for Not Quite Miss Austen by Kim Griffin:

Step back to 1955 England in this heartwarming romance that blends friendship and faith with a note of mystery and echoes of Jane Austen.

Margaret Elliot, an aspiring author from Jane Austen’s own Steventon, has more in common with the beloved novelist than she’d like—both women know the sting of lost love. Resolved to embrace her calling to singleness, Margaret pours herself into writing stories that honor God. A move to London with her dearest friend—and a secretarial job at a publishing house—seems the perfect first step toward her dream.

But when she meets Graham Corbyn, an earnest young publisher with a vision to change the literary world, Margaret finds her resolve tested. Together, they embark on the risky adventure of founding a new publishing company. Yet behind the promise of fresh beginnings lies a shadowy opposition that threatens their work and challenges their faith.

Not Quite Miss Austen is the captivating prequel to the Not Quite Series, a collection of faith-filled novels tied together by Margaret’s enduring legacy. Rich with nods to Jane Austen yet entirely original, this story of courage, devotion, and love invites you to consider what it truly means to follow God’s call—whatever the cost.

Missed flights, road trip, and God's provision--CMW Writer's retreat

-

  A couple of weeks ago I returned from a fabulous time with some of my favorite people at the Christian Mommy Writer's retreat! We have around 100 of us scattered around the world, though we're primarily in the USA, and it's such an amazing group of authors who are navigating juggling family life, serving the Lord, and glorifying Him in our writing. Many of the books I review and recommend are by these amazing ladies. At the retreat we had classes where we heard from a number of different authors who spoke on our writing craft, marketing, and balancing all of our jobs. One of the most special times we had each day was our morning devotional and worship time. We also spent plenty of time catching up in person on life and writing, sharing ideas, and of course writing. As ladies love to do, we had a Gala evening where we all dressed up, went out for dinner, presented awards, and celebrated our writing journey.  As for the title of this post, the travel to and from this event ...

  My review of Sowing Hope: Sowing Hope by Heather Wood will take you on a journey as you follow along with Patrick Gallagher in 1836 on his path from Maryland to Missouri to work with Elijah Lovejoy a famous abolitionist (a real historical figure). Along the way you’ll also meet Anna Markland and find out the mysteries she holds as their lives intersect. This book places you right in the action—including the hardships of the time, difficulties for abolitionists and black Americans, and the spiritual battle that took place among it all as Heather Wood weaves together an excellent Christian Historical Fiction story that is filled with so much fact and many real people that it’s hard to imagine her fictional characters weren’t really there. And yes, her story has a sweet romance too. One of my favorite aspects of a Heather Wood book is always the faith threaded throughout. Her characters exemplify real trials, temptations, sin, and moral failures, but she also shows redemption, f...

  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 ESV Recently my husband put up a temporary fence for our cows to allow them to eat some of the nice green grass in our yard. I should have prefaced this by saying I'm a city girl and 23 years ago my husband "Green Acre'd" me to rural Tennessee. Then we bought land and it was too much to mow, so our neighbor said, "Get some cows and I'll help you when you need it." So here we are on 17 or so acres with a few cows and donkeys. (the cows in the distance are our neighbors)  Back to the story of the fence. With the field drying out he thought it would be a great idea to give them some extra grass. He set up the fence, got a bucket of feed, and lured them over. For the three in the bottom picture, it took little coaxing. They saw that there was nice green grass on the other side and that their owner/protector approved, so they went. Those cows have been happily eating green grass for the...
