Welcome to May! Everybody hoped we’d be past this pandemic by now, but that’s not the case for most of us. We’re still living a “new normal” – missing some things we’ve lost, at least temporarily, but learning to rediscover enjoyment in others, especially in simple things like family time, reading a good book (of …
Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane, proposed their all walking out. It was agreed to. Mrs. Bennet was not in the habit of walking. Mary could never spare time, but the remaining five set off together. Bingley and Jane, however, soon allowed the others to outstrip them. They lagged behind, while Elizabeth, Kitty, …
It’s finally here!! It seems like it was a very long journey for this Pride and Prejudice what-if variation, which was written during difficult circumstances for me and, more recently, for the whole world. I can hardly believe the project has finally come to fruition! I’m wiping away a little tear from my eye. Fortune …
Well it’s Good Friday, and it’s time for the mouth-watering taste of a hot cross bun, something Jane Austen would have eaten for breakfast on this very day. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go to the shops because of lockdown, so I can’t have any this year, and I couldn’t bake them because I’m …
I thought at first that a theme like “proposals,” would be easy. After all, there’s at least one proposal in all my books, just as in Jane Austen’s. Right? And if I wrote P&P variations, there would be no difficulty (or mystery). The proposals would be between Darcy and Elizabeth and we would all know …
Well, we all knew this day was coming. I won’t be posting a new chapter this week. Instead, I have some great news for you. Fortune & Felicity is now available for Pre-order on Amazon here!!! And I’m having a pre-release special sale price for $2.99, which will last until publication day. I’m also very …
Hello again. I hope everyone’s at home [if they can be] and keeping safe in these tough times. A big virtual hug to all of you who are feeling isolated and need a bit of cheering. The anticipation is over. Elizabeth has an interview with Darcy. But how will the encounter go? A lot is …
Hi everyone! I know I’ve posted the prologue before, but I have made one or two tweaks. Nothing major, but release is almost here! I hope you’ll join me for these chapters I’m posting before it goes live. It’s still being proofed, so hopefully, the chapter is clean! Let me know what you think in …
There has been a lot of speculation about how Elizabeth and Darcy will get together. I think this chapter will answer the question. Meanwhile, if you haven’t been following the story, you can read the Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 here. Chapter 4 It was not a good time for her …
“Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.” Okay, so this line isn’t strictly a Jane Austen quote… but it certainly could have been. She must have subscribed to this policy (as I do) because she often allowed her characters to explain themselves and express their innermost feelings in letter form. Case in point: …
