It’s finally here!! It seems like it was a very long journey for this Pride and Prejudice what-if variation, which was written during difficult circumstances for me and, more recently, for the whole world. I can hardly believe the project has finally come to fruition! I’m wiping away a little tear from my eye. Fortune …
Will you?
Hello again in this month of proposals! Hope you’re keeping well and that you’re most agreeably engaged 😊 Thanks for stopping by ten days ago to read my ‘blast from the past’ (if you haven’t read it, you can find it here). And now here comes the ‘new-one-never-before-seen.’ Sending hugs and good wishes from across …
A Proposal Scene by Jennifer Altman
Hi friends! I hope everyone is hanging in there and staying safe and healthy. As you’ve likely noticed, we’re celebrating proposals at Austen Variations this month, so today, I’ll be sharing a scene from my debut novel, To Conquer Pride. Ironically, when I first set out to write a Pride and Prejudice variation, the proposal …
Yet More Proposal Scenes by Jack Caldwell #3
Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. This month, our theme is “Will You?” That’s right, it’s a month full of proposals, the good, the bad, and the ugly! Most will probably melt your pudding, but you might just see a stinker in the bouquet. We all need to laugh, right? Okay, I didn’t write the above. …
A Daring Proposal and ArmchairTravel
Hi, and I hope you’re safe and well! Since most of us are still stuck at home, how do you feel about a spot of #ArmchairTravel? If #ArmchairTravel sounds tempting, you can find the book previews and Amazon links at the end of this post. But while you’re deciding where you’d like to go, I …

A Quarantined Proposal by Nicole Clarkston
How are you all holding up? It’s a wild ride, that’s for sure. I thought you could do with a bit of laughter, so this is my very first crack at a modern Darcy and Elizabeth. (I said you could laugh, right?) You may even empathize with our dear couple’s struggles! Enjoy ! -NC “Lizzy! You’re …
Hot Cross Buns: A Good Friday Tradition
Well it’s Good Friday, and it’s time for the mouth-watering taste of a hot cross bun, something Jane Austen would have eaten for breakfast on this very day. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go to the shops because of lockdown, so I can’t have any this year, and I couldn’t bake them because I’m …
A Proposal Scene by Jack Caldwell #1
Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. This month, our theme is “Will You?” That’s right, it’s a month full of proposals, the good, the bad, and the ugly!

A Proposal Scene by Shannon Winslow
I thought at first that a theme like “proposals,” would be easy. After all, there’s at least one proposal in all my books, just as in Jane Austen’s. Right? And if I wrote P&P variations, there would be no difficulty (or mystery). The proposals would be between Darcy and Elizabeth and we would all know …
