For this month, the theme at Austen Variations is Sonnets and Bonnets. I intended to write a poem, but that is easier said than done. I have a ghost of a poem written, but I think it will require more work before I can allow anyone to look at it. So this is a choice …
Unveiling Dragons Beyond the Pale!
It’s publication day! For this celebratory post, I thought I would do something a little different and share some insights into the characters from The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy. One of the things I love about writing Austen variations is imagining how a change in circumstances results in changes to our beloved characters. I can’t …
This month’s theme is Sonnets and Bonnets, as you may know. And although I intend to focus on the sonnet (poetry) aspect, I couldn’t resist throwing in a few pictures and one quote on the other side of the equation, just to be fair. Besides, we must have pictures, and hats make better pictures than …
Dragons: Beyond the Pale The newest addition to Jane Austen’s Dragons is nearly ready to launch! Enjoy a first sneak peek at what’s in store for Darcy, Elizabeth, Wentworth and Anne. January 10, 1815, London “Elizabeth, Elizabeth!” No, please, just a little more sleep. A heavy, warm hand weighed on her shoulder, shaking her firmly …
Hi there, everyone! I hope you are hanging in there and well. Today, I am resurrecting an older vignette I wrote once upon a time. After publishing Rain and Retribution, I had a lot of people asking for an epilogue of sorts, which I did put in the comments at the time. This was sort …
Anyone up for a stroll down Memory Lane with me? It was September of 2014. We had barely started our homeschool year with a fourth-grader, a third-grader, and a first-grader, and my husband and I had just finished liquidating the last of our small business. And I was obsessed with John Thornton and Fitzwilliam Darcy. …
A new deleted scene (or maybe not…) from the upcoming book! Walker slipped through the open passage door, silent and dark as death. Had he been prey, Darcy would have been dead. Leaving the door to the dragon passages open was one of those little acts of trust that marked the decades of their Friendship. …
Jane Austen was a most judicious punisher of her least deserving characters. She had a high moral sense, as well as a wicked wit, and loved to mete out comeuppances as well as happy endings. Her comeuppances are generally very plausible and very fair, and the ones that might not seem entirely satisfactory, generally have …
Of course every JAFF writers favorite person to give a comeuppance to is Miss Bingley (well one of the favorites!) and being that I have one in my current book-in-progress, I thought a sneak peek might be in order! Hope you enjoy! So Material a Change is one that many might remember from the boards …
