Elizabeth, her young cousins and their friend have finally found shelter in stables they came …
A little bit more magic, please!
Here’s another sneak peek at my upcoming magical variation on Pride & Prejudice. This scene also takes place while Elizabeth is at Netherfield, and comes just after the last excerpt I posted, but I think you can read it on its own, too. I hope you enjoy it! ~~~ Elizabeth tiptoed out of Jane’s sickroom …

It’s a Wonderful Life…Mr. Darcy?
We are coming up on the holiday season, which some would say is the most wonderful time of the year. I’ve often found that it’s not only a season of giving and receiving, but also introspection.
