Never Judge a Book by its a Cover – Caitlin Williams

I shall be brief because I am packing. Next week I am off to ‘The Lakes’ – Elizabeth Bennet never made it as far – luckily for her she was diverted to Pemberley – but having already bagged my Mr Darcy, I am determined to see Windermere. I shall send a postcard! I just wanted …

When We Are Married

This is the book that showed up early and missed its own launch party – but hey, let’s go ahead and have one anyway. For me it’s been a strange sort of week, what with the anniversary of Jane’s death. It’s been full of highs and lows, sadness and excitement. It has left me needing an afternoon …

The Darcy Monologues

  You may have heard around the interwebz, but there’s a new Austenesque anthology coming in May called THE DARCY MONOLOGUES. Fifteen stories, both modern and Regency, and all from Darcy’s point of view! *swoon* Why do I mention it? Well, two of the stories are by Austen Variation’s own Caitlin Williams and yep, me! …

I have the Christmas tingles just thinking about the pleasures that await us (though the English mainland has not been invaded since 1066, Ms. Reynolds. As if! Pah!) – Sounds like a cracking read though, so excited! My baubles are all of a flutter… …

Shall We Dance? An extract from Ardently

  Shall We Dance? It is nearly the party season, after all, but as we now well know, a dance between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet is never a simple matter. Whether in print or played out on the screen, they are always full of delicious tension, unspoken desires, much embarrassment and confusion. Don’t you just …

Fantastical Austen – Happy Nutcrack Day

Happy Nutcrack Day! Doesn’t have the same ring to it as Happy Halloween does it? It has to be said this wasn’t a holiday particularly recognised by the Georgians, and almost certainly wouldn’t have been celebrated by a family as well-to-do as the Austens. However, the working classes, the Scots and Northern English, did celebrate …
