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. :)
What Elizabeth doesn’t know just might hurt her after all. What is Darcy to do? Darcy sank back into the large, soft, and very clean chair near the fireplace in a room easily twice the size of any he had seen for at least a fortnight. Clean linens—he had actually checked after the rigors of …
A wedding and a clandestine meeting, but with whom? Monday morning proved to be a cool, fine sort of morning, but not especially memorable, which was exactly what one wanted for a wedding day. Elizabeth dressed and pinned up her hair with particular care, not that anyone would especially notice, but it made her …
An unexpected visitor in the middle of the night… Elizabeth pushed up from the narrow cellar steps. How many hours over the past days had she sat here silently waiting staring at the boxes and barrels and trunks piled along the dark, dank walls, hoping that stubborn dragon would reveal himself? Far too many. …
The plot thickens with a long awaited letter and ciphered journal entries, but who wrote them and what do they say? Darcy pushed open the sticky window, its panes grimy and smudged. Another night spent in a roadside inn. At least this one was tolerable. The previous night, they had billeted in an abandoned …
Join Elizabeth in getting to know the Netherfield dragons (yes, dragons!!) See who she meets. Nicholls met them at the door. Her hair, totally white, was tucked under a frilly white cap that made it difficult to detect where her hair ended and the cap began. She was young to have lost all the color in …
Apparently a hurricane can’t stop a dragon, just slow them down a bit. At long last, Netherfield: Rogue Dragon, the conclusion of the Pride and Prejudice arc of Jane Austen’s Dragons, is ready to preview! I’ll be posting chapters here until the book is released (as soon as I can manage it!) March 6, 1812 …
Who can resist a holiday party? In Jane Austen’s day, the party of the year would generally be held on Twelfth Night. How do you think Jane Austen’s characters would celebrate? Check out below for some ideas. What might the Bennet’s do? Mr. Darcy? What about Mr. Wickham? Tell me in the comments and enter for …
Mince pies, often called Twelfth Pies were an iconic food of the Regency era Christmastide celebrations. I’d love to make up a batch for you and share them over some syllabub, but since even the internet can’t accomplish that, here’s the next best thing–making them together in a virtual period kitchen! (Just a note, even …

An excerpt from Snowbound at Hartfield. What drives Miss Elizabeth Elliot out into the blizzard? And why is Colonel Fitzwilliam compelled to find her? Oh, for a man’s greatcoat! Such a garment would have been far better armor against the weather than her own pretty cloak and muff. The wind tore at the edges, driving …
