Preview of PERSUADED TO SAIL, Chapter 7, Part 1 Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here, jumping about again. Happy Mardi Gras! You’ll have to wait until PERSUADED TO SAIL is published to see what was in Chapter 6. As for this one, I’m going to break it up for this posting and the next one. It’s …
Our month of love is nearly at its end but before it concluded I wanted to throw in my bit, a post on an upcoming novella, A Fine Joke, which will release in July! And so I can reassure everyone–NO! Darcy is not actually dying in this story but he does believe he is at …
Choosing a romantic scene to share was not an easy choice to make. I have my favorites, of course, but I didn’t want to drop spoilers or confuse people out of context. Ultimately, I decided to share this scene from Green Card. It was one of the first scenes I wrote for this story and …
It’s been a while, but I’m back again, ready to share my current WIP, Fortune and Felicity. For some reason, this novel took longer to write. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, it would take me in a different direction, which involved endless rewrites of earlier chapters. I’m done with the draft, though, so hopefully, there aren’t going to be any more surprises!
Fortune and Felicity is a Pride & Prejudice what-if variation, and it picks up just after Darcy’s disasterous proposal to Elizabeth at Hunsford. I’ll be posting chapters here on Jane Austen Variations while I work on edits. I’m looking to publish sometime towards the end of March, so keep checking the blog for updates.
So here it is. Enjoy!
Mr. Darcy spent the night battling his demons, urging them to come under his control.

What better way to celebrate this month of love (especially one with an added Leap Day!) than to have a chance to post a story excerpt for you all & to give away a little something, too! 😛 In honor of the release of the brand new “Emma” movie (finally coming to theaters this Friday …
With Valentine’s Day, love is in the air. And it’s a Leap Year besides! So we’re celebrating all this month with romantic excerpts and special giveaways! Today it’s my turn, and I have a romantic ‘Darcy and Elizabeth’ chapter from The Darcys of Pemberley, my first (and still most popular) novel. Even if you’ve read …
A touch of Valentine’s fun, Georgian style!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have been an ostrich lately, plugging away at various projects. Some of them have to do with the fact that I spend an inordinate amount of time these days chasing teenagers around. For example, I “get” to spend all of Valentine’s Day Weekend acting as a bouncer for over two hundred …
