The Travails of Mr Charles Bingley, Part 3

Hello everyone! I’m back with part 3 of my short story. It’s long, and I did not get in everything I originally planned for it. The consequence is that the story will now be five parts, not four. However, I’ve finished some other work, giving me more time to work on it, so I’ll be …

An Eventful Morning

So – Frenemies is this month’s theme. Let’s have some more fun with it. In the WIP I’m working on at the moment, I’m gearing towards a different kind of frenemy situation that Elizabeth is not going to find in the least amusing. But that’s still on the drawing board, so I’ve written a vignette …

Going on a Bingley Hunt

There’s a children’s book and kiddie camp song that my son used to love when he was a preschooler called We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. (Anyone familiar with it?) I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I’m doing an Austenesque version of it this month…except, in my case, it would be called: …
