Birth in Venice by Diana Birchall
Lady Catherine de Bourgh was used to being well served. Therefore when she was awakened by the unaccustomed spectacle of her bedchamber filled with sunshine from a sun already fairly high in the sky, she was startled. Why, it must be past nine o’clock. Where was her maid? No one had come to pull back …
A P&P Modern Short Story, Part Three
Greetings, friends! Long, long ago (in March), I posted the first part of a modern P&P short story. I began the project as a way to get out of my writing rut. While I can’t say I’ve accomplished that particular feat, I have managed to write another installment of the story! If you’d like to …
Letters from Venice
Many changes had come to Longbourn since the day on which Mrs. Bennet had got rid of her two mostdeserving daughters.

Please do not, on …

I’m working on three projects at once, and we just got over Carnival Season and Mardi Gras. The theme for this month is When They Were Young. There is only one book …
Young Bennets by Diana Birchall
It had been a quiet three weeks at Longbourn, to Mr. Bennet’s satisfaction. His wife and daughters were having all the enjoyment of a visit to her brother Gardiner’s house in London, and since their leaving the countryside in a wild and noisy burst of excitement, Mr. Bennet had not been sorry to be left …
Dispelling the Gloom, Part 3
Happy end of October! Below you’ll find Part III of the story I began here and continued here, in honor of this month’s theme, Which Witch: Magic and Malevolence in Austen. Many years ago, when I was posting regularly on one of the fan boards, I claimed to be the Wickham of my own life—and …
