I love this month’s theme of After the Wedding. We all know how they get to Happily Ever After, but what does Ever After actually look like? In my book Unwilling, I explored Elizabeth marrying Mr. Darcy because her father pushed her into it, and how she acclimates herself to the idea and learns …
After the Wedding – a Dialogue between Emma and Mrs. Elton
“Now, my dear Mrs. Knightley,” began Mrs. Elton eagerly, hitching herself forward in her chair in Emma’s pretty sitting-room, “Do tell me, there’s a dear, where it was that you and Mr. K went on your honey-moon?” There was so much to offend in this question, that Emma was silent a moment. That gave the …
After the Wedding – WIP Sneak Peek by Jennifer Altman
Hi all! I hope everyone has been staying healthy and safe and making the most of these last few weeks of summer.

A Wilful Misunderstanding: Prologue
1814, Park Street Books, Weymouth The sound of his voice made her stiffen with shock. She had the book she intended to purchase in her hand, and she clutched it to her bosom, panic causing her heart to race. He asked the proprietor for a book. The History of Little Goody Two Shoes—a …

An unexpected guest arrives… Part 4 After a pleasing, and relatively quiet dinner, Caroline led the way to the parlor.

After the Wedding (there may be kissing)
Well, is this a swoony theme this month, or what? I’ve been loving all these romantic reads, but my fan is about worn out! Now, I will be quite honest. I was planning to write an exclusive for this theme because it was so much fun, but… I didn’t. You can throw your rotten tomatoes …
Elizabeth Elliot Seeks a Husband Part I
When I first heard the monthly theme of “After the Wedding,” my mind immediately flew to a Persuasion plot based on Elizabeth Elliot deciding she’s had enough of being single. It’s a different take on the theme, meaning it is not a couple’s honeymoon, but I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. This is part one …
Darcy and Elizabeth: The Wedding Night (past and future)
Darcy and Elizabeth: The Wedding Night (past and future), by Jack Caldwell Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. The theme for this month is After the Wedding. The idea is for different Austen Variation authors showing the day or night after the wedding of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Today, it’s the Cajun Cheesehead’s turn. Oh boy. …
Darcy and Elizabeth: Their Wedding Night (Leaving More or Less to the Imagination)
For our “After the Wedding” theme, I turned to my very first novel: The Darcys of Pemberley. As a P&P sequel, technically the whole thing takes place after the wedding. However, since the story picks up a year into D&E’s marriage, there’s not much about the actual wedding night, only this short PG clip, which …
Darcy and Elizabeth: Their Wedding Night, Their Private Haven
For my After the Wedding post, I thought I’d choose Darcy and Elizabeth’s wedding night from The Journey Home to Pemberley. If you haven’t read the book yet, you might be surprised to find that, in this scenario, they marry at Pemberley (because that’s where their sweet reunion was: at Pemberley, in Mr Darcy’s private …
