For some reason I’ve been nervous about saying much about The Magic of Pemberley, the second book of my Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage trilogy. Maybe it’s because I’ve heard so many authors say that the second book of a trilogy is the hardest and takes the longest. I got around some of that by not releasing …
What impressed them most – Pemberley or its proprietor? August 6, 1812 “What a day we have had!” exclaimed Mrs. Gardiner to her husband when they climbed into their bed at the inn that night. She had barely been able to contain herself until they were alone, until they could discuss the events of the …

This is a short story I wrote several years ago, when I was working on The Ladies of Rosings Park, but I don’t think I ever shared it here. It came about this way: When I mentioned on Facebook that I was writing the scene where Anne de Bourgh crashes Georgiana Darcy’s 18th birthday ball, …
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 …
Do his charms still work on Elizabeth? May 18th, 1812 He was by no means discouraged. Mary King may have slipped through his fingers, but what did it matter? There were plenty more fish in the sea. And after all, it would have been selling himself pretty cheap to settle for a freckled face with …
Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my new P&P story! At 63 pages, it’s either a very long short story or a short novella. It’s essentially finished, but since it’s presented in a Christmas framework, I will probably wait to publish it until closer to the end of the year. Technically, it’s fantasy, I guess …

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 …
