Bonus Leap into Love

I already did one post on this month’s theme, but I just couldn’t let LEAP into LOVE slip by without tying it to my novel LEAP of HOPE. The two were practically made for each other. The colors even match! Besides, February 29th is kind of a bonus day, so I figured it deserved a bonus …

Today should be the last day of February, but it isn’t, so I still have a chance to Leap into Love. For today’s romantic moment, I’ve decided to share one of my early Pride & Prejudice sequels, The Darcy Cousins. Of course, I have to put up a *spoiler alert. I do love this scene, …

Leap into Love

Choosing a romantic scene to share was not an easy choice to make. I have my favorites, of course, but I didn’t want to drop spoilers or confuse people out of context. Ultimately, I decided to share this scene from Green Card. It was one of the first scenes I wrote for this story and …

Excerpt from my Work In Progress: Fortune and Felicity -1

It’s been a while, but I’m back again, ready to share my current WIP, Fortune and Felicity. For some reason, this novel took longer to write. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, it would take me in a different direction, which involved endless rewrites of earlier chapters. I’m done with the draft, though, so hopefully, there aren’t going to be any more surprises!
Fortune and Felicity is a Pride & Prejudice what-if variation, and it picks up just after Darcy’s disasterous proposal to Elizabeth at Hunsford. I’ll be posting chapters here on Jane Austen Variations while I work on edits. I’m looking to publish sometime towards the end of March, so keep checking the blog for updates.
So here it is. Enjoy! 
Mr. Darcy spent the night battling his demons, urging them to come under his control.
