Confined with Mr. Darcy Wrap Up and Thank You Gift!

Can you believe it’s July already?! This year is just whizzing by and taking us on the craziest roller coaster ride ever. I hope you and your families are well and managing with everything that’s been happening in the world and your own neighborhoods.

June was a great month for Jane Austen House Museum! Their Covid-19 Survival Appeal went viral and they met their goal required to keep the museum up and running for the year. They’ve also received a bit extra, which helps ensure they not only survive but are able to completely recover.  JAHM is such an amazing place, and it’s a huge relief that they’re guaranteed to not simply survive the current situation.

Our effort to help raise money for Jane Austen House Museum was a brilliant success! Through Kindle and paperback sales as well as Kindle Unlimited page reads, we raised $589! After conversion to pounds, that number became £475, but I went ahead and rounded it up to £500, which was paid into their Just Giving page on 2 July.  I even took a screenshot so everyone who contributed could see and enjoy that they helped out 🙂

Raising a substantial amount of money with a novella is not an easy task. I can’t thank everyone who bought or read Confined by Mr. Darcy enough! You made this donation possible! And as another thank you, I’ve compiled the outtakes from my blog guest posts as well as one never before read outtake into a free book for you to download! You can even email it to your Kindle email and read it on your phone or Kindle whenever or wherever the mood strikes.

Just click on the book cover to download! I’ve also listed it on the Free Books page. Thanks again!

 

L.L Diamond

L.L. Diamond is more commonly known as Leslie to her friends and Mom to her three kids. A native of Louisiana, she spent the majority of her life living within an hour of New Orleans before following her husband all over as a military wife.

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!
