Inspired by Life ... and Fiction

Novelists bound by the pen, sisterhood, & more

Join Us For Fun & Friendship!

By

In these times of isolating social distance (lessening somewhat lately, thankfully), I am enjoying being part of a social online community called Inspirational Regency Readers on Facebook. While Facebook activity has decreased in general, activity within the group is thriving as well as warm and welcoming. Visiting “IRR” is like visiting your favorite coffee shop (or other hang-out), where “everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.” 😊 (Just like this blog!)

Group members share a love of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and other clean or inspirational Regency romances. We talk about favorite adaptations and actors, places we long to travel, and our bookish ways. Author-friends also offer occasional “diversions” like Regency Bingo and giveaways.

Now, we are about to kick-off a fun new activity, our May Madness Cover Art Bracket Challenge. In the challenge, you will vote on your favorite book covers, chat with sister-readers, and discover new-to-you Regency authors. Participating authors include: Sarah Ladd, Carolyn Miller, Regina Scott, Erica Vetsch, Abigail Wilson, Michelle Griep, Kristi Ann Hunter, Shannon Winslow, Camille Elliot, Jessica Nelson, Alissa Baxter, Susanne Dietze, Lorri Dudley, Melanie Dickerson, and me, Julie Klassen.

You can watch our introductory video here:

If you are interested in any of the above, I invite you to join us. The challenge begins May 3, but you can join us at any time.

Hope to see you there!

  1. I really enjoy this group!Have been introduced to new authors and interesting topics.
    I picked up The Girl in the Gatehouse a number of years ago because of the cover art and was hooked by the content. From then on, I was a fan of yours, Julie, have read all of your books, and followed you to this blog. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and communicate with the authors on this blog. Facebook has opened me up to several inspirational groups and other authors.

    Thank you, Julie!

  2. Thank you, Julie, for the invite. I was unaware of the FB group. It sounds very interesting. I have read several of the authors’ books and look forward to learning about more.
