How are you all holding up in this strange new world of ours? We love hearing from you, and we hope you are all safe and well. We also hope you have been well supplied with reading material, but if you’re looking for a bit more, we hope to help out. This month, our theme …
“Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.” Okay, so this line isn’t strictly a Jane Austen quote… but it certainly could have been. She must have subscribed to this policy (as I do) because she often allowed her characters to explain themselves and express their innermost feelings in letter form. Case in point: …
As promised, here is the third episode of the new book I’m working on, Fortune & Felicity. If you haven’t read the first two episodes, you can catch up with the Prologue here, and Chapter 1 here. Chapter 2 Elizabeth winced with pain as she stepped on a tin soldier left in the hallway by …
Here’s the first chapter from my Pride & Prejudice variation Fortune & Felicity. It’s my second post, so if you haven’t read it yet, I would recommend reading the Prologue first. As you can see from the date, the actual story starts seven years after Darcy’s disastrous proposal at Hunsford. I will leave you to …
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 …
St Valentine’s Day is coming, love is in the air and, as luck will have it, it’s a leap year. So what better way to celebrate our favourite couple and their Leap into Love than with romantic excerpts from our books and gifts for our readers? (Such a great idea, Jennifer!!) I think my readers …
Austen by the Fireside is this month’s theme, and it’s such a cosy one! Perfect for January. This is the time for cosiness, for wrapping up warm and curling up with a good book – or with several. It would be ever so nice if we could curl up before an open fire, but these …
Two turtledoves and dreams of their merry, merry Christmastimes at Pemberley or at their house in town. In early wedded bliss, perhaps – or surrounded by (more or less welcome) guests – or later, when there are children at Pemberley and the new custom Prince Albert had brought from his home country had begun to catch …
Happy Thanksgiving! Sneaking this in for those of you reading in bed after a day of indulgence. 😉 Find chapter 2 here. 3 They left the restaurant and walked several blocks to a chocolate bar and ordered a few different desserts that they all shared in addition to another round of drinks. At some point …
So, Nosy November… 😊. Three cheers for Amy D’Orazio for suggesting such a fun theme for this month! ‘Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can,’ Elizabeth said to Mr Darcy, and we have good reason to believe that Jane Austen shared that view, …
