Elizabeth Elliot Seeks a Husband Part I
I first posted this story four years ago and I thought it was worth putting out there once again. I almost exclusively write Pride & Prejudice variations, but I had wanted to stretch myself a bit and decided to explore a character from my second favourite Austen novel, Persuasion. Even more of a challenge—trying to …
His Family Objects Release Week Celebration
My latest book was released this past Monday. I posted the prologue a few weeks ago; you can find it here. While it shows us the angst in His Family Objects, today I want to show you the other side of the story—the love Elizabeth and Darcy share. We also meet Georgiana Darcy, who has …
P&P The Untold Stories: Elizabeth Remembers
Going to Derbyshire? How can she without thinking of Mr. Darcy? May 20th, 1812 Derbyshire. That one word brought it all flooding back to my mind, all that I had so studiously endeavored to put from it. My heart had been set on seeing The Lakes, but my aunt’s letter two weeks ago not only put an …

My P&P Trilogy
There is a certain mystique about a trilogy, and I think most novelists dream of writing at least one – one that’s important, acclaimed… and preferably available as a beautifully boxed set! That was my dream. Actually, when I wrote my first Pride and Prejudice sequel, I didn’t know there would be more. The goal was just to carry Darcy and Elizabeth …

I assure you, my dear colonel, that your most excellent aunt arranged …

Colonel Loudmouth Drops a Dime on Darcy April 9th, 1812 COLONEL FITZWILLIAM WAS NOT IN THE BEST OF SPIRITS as he left the main house.
