Here’s the first chapter from my Pride & Prejudice variation Fortune & Felicity. It’s my second post, so if you haven’t read it yet, I would recommend reading the Prologue first. As you can see from the date, the actual story starts seven years after Darcy’s disastrous proposal at Hunsford. I will leave you to …
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.
Austen by the Fireside is this month’s theme, and it’s such a cosy one! Perfect for January. This is the time for cosiness, for wrapping up warm and curling up with a good book – or with several. It would be ever so nice if we could curl up before an open fire, but these …
This is getting personal. Our own Abigail Reynolds is in the path of a tropical storm. Meredith Esparza of Austenesque Reviews is in the path of Hurricane Dorian. So is Samantha Whitman, another JAFF author who generously donated a cameo and critique for this fundraiser. Let’s show our own our love and support right now. …
For those of you who’ve been asking — here is the last chapter I’ll be posting on Austen Variations. The good news is — I’m expecting the book to be out on FRIDAY March 9th. Huzzah! It’s been a bit of a rough three weeks but all’s well that ends well (I hope). Meanwhile, if …
This is my cover reveal for the WIP I originally called When Pride Prevails. I do like that title, and I was tempted to keep it, but I decided to rename it Mysterious Mr. Darcy because that is how Elizabeth thinks of him. I hope you like the cover. I’ve been struck down by the …
In the last episode, Darcy’s interaction with Elizabeth followed canon to some extent. This next chapter goes in a different direction. The scene is the circulating library in Meryton. Meanwhile, if you haven’t read the earlier chapters, you need to start with the Prologue here, then Chapter 1 here, and Chapter 2 here, Chapter 3 here, and then Chapter …
In the last episode, we were at the Meryton Assembly. The scene is still the same. The question is, will Darcy & Elizabeth meet in this variation? Will they dance? Or will the story follow canon? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out. Meanwhile, if you haven’t read the earlier chapters, you need …
So here it is again, the next chapter in my new novel, which should be coming out the third week in February. This time we’re in familiar territory, namely, the Meryton Assembly, and Darcy and Elizabeth are in the same room. I should warn you, though, that things don’t work quite in the same way! …
Here is the third installment of my new variation When Pride Prevails. As those of you who are following along know, Darcy’s situation is uncomfortable to say the least. We should be on more familiar territory now as the characters prepare for the Meryton Assembly. Hope you enjoy this twist on the original. If you haven’t read …
