I love Pride and Prejudice, Regency era history and dragons. Generally that's not considered a problem unless one tries to write it all at the same time. :)
Find Dancing with Dragons on Amazon, for purchase and on Kindle Unlimited. The defining moment of Margaret Dashwood’s social life, the Dragon Keeper’s Cotillion, the most significant event of Blue Order society, looms large on the horizon.

Taking Tea with Mrs. Darcy November 25, 1812 Elizabeth checked her hair in the looking glass and straightened her dress for the third time. There was no reason for such anxiety, none at all. It was not as if she were going to be presented at court. In many ways, though, that would be far …
Starting the Rest of Their Lives November 18, 1812 The wedding breakfast had been everything it was supposed to be. Loud, crowded, a table well-set, and a house full of flowers. A gushing mother, a satisfied—or was it relieved—father, and a blushing bride, surrounded by her dearest connections. Her aunts had praised her, her sisters …
Reflections of Thomas Bennet November 17, 1812 Thomas Bennet was not by his nature a reflective man. Reflection tended to bring on discomfort and discontent, neither of which he favored.

A Sisterly Talk Before the Wedding November 12, 1812 The evening turned cold and the family retreated upstairs somewhat earlier than usual. Elizabeth and Jane withdrew to Jane’s room. A warm fire crackled in the fireplace, and they sat together on the bed heaped high with pillows. Elizabeth removed the pins from Jane’s hair and …
Darcy Talks to Mr. Bennet October 7, 1812 Darcy paced the Netherfield library. The fool room was far too short and the threadbare carpet muffled what should have been a satisfying thud from his boots. He had faced many intimidating men in his life. Men more educated them himself; men wealthier; men more powerful. None …
Lady Catherine’s solution to the Elizabeth problem: To tell Darcy that the girl is determined to marry him. October 2, 1812 Lady Catherine de Bourgh sat very straight in her seat in the chaise. Her always formidable mouth was compressed into an angry, thin line, and there were patchy spots of red on her cheeks. …
The Wickhams Depart Longbourn September 10, 1812 Elizabeth stood with the rest of the family on Longbourn’s front steps. The sun hung high in the cloudless sky, teasing with vague warmth, as Lydia waved her final goodbyes. She edged back to allow Mama and Kitty better vantage. The ten days of the Wickhams’ visit could …
