Stormy September Excerpt
As I considered the Stormy September theme this month, I had several books to select passages from. Storms seem to be a popular (at least to me) plot element in writing. I would have liked to include something new, but my life the past few days has been turned upside down – not by a …
A Picnic at Pemberley
It’s picnic time! June is a great time for picnics, with or without our Regency glad rags on. I love writing about picnics. In The Second Chance there’ s one at the seaside (but on a pebbly beach and sitting on deck-chairs, so hopefully they didn’t have to worry about sand in their …
A Picnic in Venice (Part 12 of Byron and the Darcys series)
Lady Catherine was in a very bad mood. As she seated herself at the breakfast table, arrayed in her richly and stiffly embroidered morning dress with its tight lace collar Elizabeth and Darcy could see, by her black looks, that her temper, so far rigidly held in, would not be so for long. She began …
A Picnic Excerpt from Only Mr. Darcy Will Do
For those of you who aren’t aware, each month we choose a theme that some of our authors may choose to write about. Our theme for this month is Summer is the time for Picnics, and I knew right away what I wanted to post. This is a scene from “Only Mr. Darcy Will Do,” …
Food ~ the Glorious Food of the Georgians
They say never go shopping for food when you’re hungry. Writing a post on Georgian dishes when you’re hungry isn’t the best idea either. Luckily, I can’t nip into the kitchen to snack on plovers’ eggs, Nelson’s pudding or oyster patties, so I’m probably safe, at least for now. These were just a few of …
The Darcys and Lord Byron in Venice Part 11 – Diana Birchall
“My dear Lord Byron,” wrote Lady Catherine, then laid down her quill to gaze dreamily out at the canal with a romantic expression that on her normally hard and imperious face, would have been deeply disturbing if any one had been there to observe it. But she was alone in the palatial chamber that Darcy …
Throw Back Thursday – Pemberley Ranch
Regency and Reconstruction The Cajun Cheesehead Chronicles by Jack Caldwell Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. Way back in the Dark Ages—the early 2000’s—I had discovered Fan Fiction Boards while searching for a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. As I worked during the day, I read fan fiction at night. My wife likes to go to …
Spring Has Sprung – And Mr Darcy Needs Your Help
I read somewhere that daffodils symbolise new beginnings. I don’t know if it’s true. Perhaps the brave little snowdrops deserve this badge of honour more. But when daffodils start to flower and they enliven the dreary winter landscape with bright patches of colour, we know that spring is here at last, and sunny days are …
Throw Back Thursday
As we dash about, caught in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we can rarely tell which ones of the little, seemingly inconsequential moments will stay with us forever and steer us along the way. When I first opened my mother’s tattered copy of Pride and Prejudice, with several pages almost detached from the …
