Something Like Regret Audiobook Release

Congratulations to the 5 winners of the audible promo codes for Something Like Regret! They are: Heather Rehner, Leeza Stetson, Elizabeth Jung, Noelle, and Nicole Barton Sasser! I will be contacting you about getting you your codes. Thanks to everyone who participated!

I have some exciting news to share with you today! One of my earlier books, Something Like Regret, is now live as an audio book. If you aren’t familiar with this book, I wrote it and self-published it in 2010, just as Sourcebooks picked up some of my books to publish. I think it had been available online only for about 6 weeks when I signed the contract. They first published Pemberley’s Promise, which they retitled Darcy’s Voyage, and then about 6 months later, they published Something Like Regret, changing the title to Only Mr. Darcy Will Do. Recently I was able to get the rights back to both books, self-publish them again under the original titles, and it is now live on audible.com.

I worked with narrator Melissa Durbin, and she was wonderful to work with and did a great job. You can click on the link below to go to audible to hear the preview sample.

For those unfamiliar with Something Like Regret, here is the blurb: Mrs. Bennet’s greatest fear comes to pass with the death of Mr. Bennet in the early summer after Elizabeth returns from Kent. Longbourn is entailed away to Mr. Collins. Elizabeth and Jane become governesses in London, and their mother and sisters move in with Mr. and Mrs. Phillips in Meryton. Elizabeth could not be happier with the family for whom she works, but soon comes to discover that they have a long-standing association with the Darcys. As she is thrown into his presence and walks the beautiful halls of Pemberley, she comes to a greater understanding of his goodness and admirable character while comprehending the even greater disparity in their stations.

I will be giving away 5 promo codes to 5 lucky winners in the US or UK. Please comment below if you are interested and mention where you live so I can send you the proper code. I will be using random.org to choose the winners, and will announce the winners next Monday on this page, as well as on our Facebook group page. You have until Saturday night to comment in order to be entered, as I will draw the winners on Sunday. Good luck!

    I almost never listen to audiobooks, so please don’t enter me into the drawing. But I have to say that Something Like Regret absolutely knocked me out when I read it, back when it first came out. It’s so good and I recommend it to everyone!
