Hi everyone, When I was editing The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy, I wrote several scenes to show more of Elizabeth and Darcy (‘William Lucas’) when they were younger. This one did not make it into the book, and when the monthly theme of ‘blossoming love’ was chosen, I immediately thought about it. It takes place …
I suppose this post accidentally goes along with our June theme of Blossoming Love, because… well, that’s what’s happening. Oh, and there are flowers on the cover. So, I was in the throes of another project, one that I’ve been super excited about for a few months, and I wasn’t quite ready to share. However, …
This month’s theme is “Blossoming Love.” I’m not sure this post fits, except that before love can bloom, two people have to find each other. Right? Today you might look for your perfect match online. Back in the day it was the personal ads of the newspaper. A while ago, I came across a clever …
Blossoming Love – An Excerpt from Bourbon Street Nights, by Jack Caldwell Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. Sorry it’s been so long between posts.

It had been arranged that the Allens would deliver Catherine from their Bath lodgings to General Tilney’s superior ones, in time to join the family for breakfast, and then make ready for the journey to Northanger Abbey. This departure …
Happy June to you all! When I was thinking about this month’s theme, “Blossoming Love,” I realized that I rarely set a story in summer. Nor do I have many flowers in my novels (or, when I do, I tend to put them in seasons not meant for those flowers)! All of these thoughts brought …
This is the beginning of a little story I’ve been working on for a while now. Basically, what if Elizabeth left the inn at Lambton before Jane’s letters arrived? What would have happened? Take a look… Lambton, Derbyshire August 1812 Elizabeth tied her bonnet ribbons in a jaunty bow to the left of …
Well, it’s finally happened. My second Pride and Prejudice variation is out in the world, TODAY! 🎉🎊🎉 And what better way to celebrate than with another giveaway and one more excerpt from the book. 🙂 If you’ve been following along, I’ve already shared Darcy’s proposal (if you missed it, you can find it HERE), so …
