Happy March! This month, some of us will be posting on the theme of COMEUPPANCE, which is defined as “something unpleasant regarded as just punishment.” And who is more deserving of it than Lady Catherine? In P&P, we know she gets her just punishment when Darcy defies her edict that he must marry Anne. But …
I am so excited to be here today to reveal the cover for my upcoming release, The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy. Quills & Quartos is giving away a $20 (US dollars) Amazon gift card; the draw is open internationally. All you have to do to enter the draw is comment on this post. Before I …
Good morning to all in the JAFF world! We’re winding up our month, with its theme of Love/Hate relationships and I thought I would dust off an old short story of mine for you. Hope you enjoy this tale of a quick path from hate to love for D&E. ————————————– The ball given at the …
Brrrr! At least, that’s what I’ve been saying a lot lately, and I’m sure there are those of you in colder parts of the country than Oregon. Whose idea was it to have a winter storm in February, anyway? Foul, I say! Anyway, I hope you’re all keeping safe and warm. My contribution to our …
As you may have noticed, February’s theme here at Austen Variations is love/hate relationships, which, for those of us who read and write JAFF, probably brings to mind Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet above any other couple. So, although I am *this close* to typing “The End” on my current WIP, I thought for today’s …
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for The Price of Pride, with not one, but two, of the best reviews I’ve ever had. I’m all a-twitter, feeling like Mrs. Bennet clutching for her smelling salts! Ten thousand a year! A house in town! Two glowing five-star reviews! Here’s a quote from From Pemberley to …
Hello everyone. I hope you’ve all recovered from the icy weather and the blackouts by now. It seems everything has been conspiring to make our lives more difficult in the past year. Let’s hope February will be a turning point and things will start looking up. The theme of the month on Austen Variations is …
Love and hate. Jane Austen wrote about them both, sometimes in the same novel, and about the same characters. The love/hate relationship that first comes to mind is of course that of Darcy and Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. The word hate is used several times in describing Lizzy’s early prejudiced feelings about Mr. Darcy. …
There are a few love -hate relationships in this little outtake from my latest WIP from my Jane Austen’s Dragons series. Actually it is not quite an outtake, but a little scene I wrote to better understand what was going on in the characters and the world, and wow, did I get a big surprise …
Well, the wild winds and snow of Storm Darcy that had us in its thrall here in the UK are over, and we are back to our normal February weather. Much as I love Darcy, I am glad the storm is gone and the snow clouds have lifted. Like all angst, it’s okay if it …
