Greetings, everybody! Jack Caldwell here. As you may know, my second published novel, THE THREE COLONELS: Jane Austen’s Fighting Men—a grand sequel to two of Jane Austen’s works: Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility—was originally published on-line.

Here is Chapter 6 of my WIP. I had been posting once a month, then mentioned last month that I would be posting twice this month, but I changed my mind. I’m going to post 4 chapters. They will be on different days of the week, as I decided after most of the days were …
“But don’t you want to know what happens next?” That’s the question I often ask when I meet someone who tells me how much they love Jane Austen’s books, especially Pride and Prejudice.
