It was a grey day for the horseback ride on the sandy dunes of the Lido, but the Venetian churches and palazzi were etched against the pearly sky and the wind blew hard through the horses’ manes and tails, also ruffling the hair of the two men in a wild and free way. “Did I …

Unmasked: The Darcys in Venice. Chapter 25, Mr. Collins Meets Lord Byron
Nobody spoke for a moment. At the sight of Mr. Collins standing in the doorway of Lord Byron’s apartments at the Palazzo Mocenigo, the persons assembled wore expressions ranging from surprise, horror, and pained disdain; but no one looked at all happy. Mr. Collins, who seemed the least distressed, was the first to speak. “Lady …
“Tomorrow,” an Elizabeth and Darcy short story
Happy April! Today, I offer a sweet and silly short story based on this month’s theme, “Arts and Allurements.” That phrase comes from Lady Catherine’s speech to Elizabeth outside of Longbourn (the same speech in which she calls Elizabeth an “obstinate, headstrong girl”): “This is not to be borne. Miss Bennet, I insist on …
“Shattered” — a new Elizabeth and Darcy short story (complete)
Happy February 29, that rarest of days! This month’s theme is “Alone Together,” so I thought I’d finish a short story from a few months ago, one that seemed relevant to this theme. But when I read back over the story, I didn’t like it–and so I started anew. The idea for this story is …

Strokes of Inelegance: the final part of a modern P&P story!
Greetings, friends! It’s almost the end of a “scandalous September.” (Did you do anything scandalous this month? For my part, I turned another year older…very scandalous indeed!) In March, I began an untitled P&P short story to help me get out of a writing funk. Now, as we approach October, I have finally finished! (Well, there’s …
