Hasn’t it been great to get a preview of some upcoming books this month? I have the Christmas tingles just thinking about the pleasures that await us (though the English mainland has not been invaded since 1066, Ms. Reynolds. As if! Pah!) – Sounds like a cracking read though, so excited! My baubles are all of a flutter… …
Welcome to the second excerpt from my Pride & Prejudice alternate history! I’ve combined two chapters for this post because I just couldn’t resist seeing what you think of it. My plan is to post the first quarter of the book in weekly segments. That’ll take you through the point which will answer some of your …
Dearest readers, I have broken free from the constraints of time and literature to address you personally, and might I say it is an absolute pleasure to do so. To those who are following my memoirs, I thank you; they are to take a break over the Christmas period, but rest assured that they, and …
Elizabeth Elliot snuck a glance at her father. His forehead was creased and his lips pressed into a very distinct expression that only meant one thing: disgust. Proximity to the old and infirm brought it out and he no longer bothered to hide it. He used to, before they took residence in Bath. But there …
Yes, I have a new book in the works! I’m really excited about the plot twist because it’s breaking new ground in the world of Pride & Prejudice variations (and least as far as I know – I can’t keep track of all of the ones out there any more). But since it’s different, I’m also nervous …
[This note was scribbled on the back of the papers published in chapter 3. It appears that GW was concerned about some of the revelations contained therein and wished his editor to exercise discretion. As always, the project page can be found on Facebook. Previous chapters can be found here.] My dear sir, Well, that was a night and a …
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam pulled the scarf a little tighter around his neck as howling winds battered the coach. What madness had seized the weather? Snow was unusual enough, but a storm such as this? Who would have expected it? Certainly not his cousin Darcy. Careful and meticulous as he was, he would never have set …
The Netherfield ball–how romantic! But perhaps not for everyone, especially Charlotte Lucas… November 26, 1811 The night of the Netherfield Ball, Mama pulled Charlotte aside. “Your gown looks very well indeed.” “I am glad you are pleased, Mama.” “It is a shame we must give up hopes of Mr. Bingley, but his preference for Jane …
[This frustratingly undated excerpt appears to mark a more formal approach for GW. There is no claret staining, nor any scrawled notes to his editor. It is also the first known written record of his foundling grandmother, Nunzia. Although she went by many surnames, which shall be examined in later papers, efforts to uncover her true …
During the Federal Era in America, a time corresponding to the Regency Era in England, the biggest holiday of the year was Thanksgiving. At that time, more Americans lived on farms than in cities, and with the grain harvested, the fruit preserved, and the pig butchered, it was time to join with family and friends …
