Can you believe it’s August already? This year is just flying by! Today, I’m excited because even though the audiobook of Confined with Mr. Darcy released a little over a week ago, today is the release celebration!
It’s easily found at Audible and Amazon. At just shy of 3 hours, it’s a fun listen for a drive or if you’re stuck cleaning house. Joanna did an amazing job with the narration and it was so much fun to hear her interpretation of each of the characters.
Now for the sample!!
If you haven’t heard Undoing by Stevie Zimmerman on audiobook yet, then pop on over to Audible and check it out!!
L.L. Diamond is more commonly known as Leslie to her friends, Mom to her three kids, and servant to her three cats. A native of Louisiana, she has been a wanderer for the past 20 years, living in Mississippi, California, Texas, New Mexico, Nebraska, England, and Missouri before settling in Maryland.
One day, Leslie may decide what she wants to do when she grows up but for now, she enjoys writing the stories that live in her head and coaching age group swimming. She has degrees in biology and studio art, certifications to coach swimming in the United States and Britain, and numerous fitness certifications. Leslie is also a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Her accomplishments include drawing, watercolor, and playing flute and piano, but much like Pride and Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennet, she is always in need of practice!
After watching Sense and Sensibility with her mother, Leslie became a fan of Jane Austen, reading her collected works over the next few years. Pride and Prejudice stood out as a favourite and has dominated her writing since finding Jane Austen Fan Fiction.
Aside from mother and writer, Leslie considers herself a perpetual student. She has degrees in biology and studio art, but will devour any subject of interest simply for the knowledge. As an artist, her concentration is in graphic design, but watercolour is her medium of choice with one of her watercolours featured on the cover of her second book, A Matter of Chance. She coaches swimming and holds a variety of fitness certifications. She is also a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Leslie also plays flute and piano, but much like Elizabeth Bennet, she is always in need of practice!
Enjoyed the excerpt. My favorite scene is when Darcy takes Lizzy to see the stars, and she makes a move on him. Then being locked out of the house was very humorous.
This will definitely be on my list if I ever decide to go with audiobooks (not yet so please don’t enter me in the giveaway 😏)
I would definitely pick the ‘stars’ scene but I loved the whole book ❤️
Best of luck with everything 😘
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing as well as the little prequels that you posted! I’ve re-read it twice. I just wish it was longer! Moderns are my favorite!
Sorry about the length. When JA House Museum needed money, I never pushed for longer than novella length so I could get them some funds. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it though! Thanks, Jill!
It has been awhile since I read this story but I will go with the star scene also. Good luck with this new audio release. I always enjoy listening to stories when I walk outside…when the weather cools off enough so I can do that again.
Stevie did an amazing job with Undoing. Joanna’s narration of Confined was of course more humorous and fun. They’re both really well done, I hope you get a chance to hear both! Thanks, Marsha!
I just finished reading Confined…a couple days ago and loved it! Hard to pick a favorite scene, there’s so much to enjoy. I did get a kick out of Georgiana’s (sort of) potty mouth, (thanks for keeping it mild!) I loved Mrs Reynolds. I loved Tilney. I loved Bingley taking Darcy to task over his attitude, etc. And who wouldn’t love the stars scene. I want the audio book so bad. Ha. I’m so excited it’s available now.
I’m U.S.
I have Undoing in audio, and it is so fantastic. I love, love, LOVE it. What a book. Congrats on that achievement!
When you first started promoting Confined With Mr Darcy, I got it quick so that would count toward the museum donation. Then I went and looked up the needs of the museum, made a donation, and realized my pittance would maybe pay for one roof tile. Gulp. There is a need for a large donor, for sure. But in these times…..
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you loved all of it! I know what you mean as far as the donation towards JAHM. I made a donation on my own and then the donation from the book ($500) which is a drop in the bucket, but I know every little bit helps and they’re thankful for it. Because the book was written to donate money to the museum, I wanted it to be PG. Thankfully, everyone’s little bits added up and the museum raised enough money to remain open plus some to help them come back a bit better. I’m very thankful to everyone who read and purchased Confined. Thanks again!
Thank you for a sample of the book. I have it but I have only read this part. Everytime I start reading , my kids start catching my attention. (that’s why lately I’ve been enjoying audiobooks coz I can multi-task 😉
Thank you for the chance. If I get picked, I use Audible US. (Always wanted to know why Amazon/Audible US and UK are different. )
I know what you mean about your kids and the Amazon/AudibleUS and Audible UK. I had someone win from Canada on the last giveaway and there’s an Audible Canada and we had to make sure she was on Audible US in order to redeem her voucher. It would be so much easier if it was one big website. Thanks, Buturot!

The awkwardly tense scene in which Elizabeth is riding in Darcy’s Range Rover for the first time in route to Pemberley.
Author
LOL! That was fun to write. As awkward as that can be on a first date, their ride was 100x worse. Thanks, Paige!
The whole book was great! The stars scene would be good. 😉
Author
Thank you, Lori!

I love awkward and tense scenes!

Those can be great fun! Thanks, TJ!
Great sample! I’d love to hear the rest. It’s such a clever story. A US code for me, please.
Author
Thanks, Leslie!!
The story is so much fun and the audiobook brought it even more to life. It is a fun listen. Being kicked out of the house was a fun scene.
Author
Thanks, Debbie! That scene is a little like getting busted by mom and dad for sneaking out. LOL!
Yes, it is. Hehehehe.
I cannot wait for the entire book as I haven’t read it yet and was waiting for Audible. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author
Glad your wait is almost over! Thanks, Sara!
