Hello everyone! I’m pleased to announce that I have a new book coming out soon in just about ten weeks. Woohoo! It is titled A Matter of Prudence, and it is a Pride and Prejudice variation. Let’s start with the blurb. ∞∞∞ He could hardly stop thinking of Elizabeth, and no longer tried to convince …
Mr. Darcy Came to Dinner 10th Anniversary, by Jack Caldwell Greetings everyone. Jack Caldwell here. Ten years ago, I published the funniest novel I have written to date: MR. DARCY CAME TO DINNER – A Pride & Prejudice Farce. I’d like to deeply thank those of you who have been so kind to read it, …
Is it possible to have too many Williams? I like the name – very much, in fact. Even so, there ought to be a limit as to number. One thing I’ve learned as a novelist is that you shouldn’t confuse your readers with character names that are too similar. If you’ve already got a Terry …
Hello everyone! In April, I celebrate two book birthdays: The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy (2021) and The Marriage Bargain (2022). Coincidentally, these are the books in which I altered Darcy’s circumstances the most.

Hello everyone! I thought I’d do something a little different today and talk about plot bunnies. I won’t be giving away any hints about what I’m working on now—but rest assured, I have several things in the work—but rather share some of the fun I have with plot bunnies. So far, my problem isn’t an …
Happy Friday, everyone! In honour of this month’s theme, ‘When They Were Young’, I am sharing some deleted scenes from my latest novel, The Truth About Family. It can be very difficult deciding what to leave in or discard when editing, but ultimately, I focused the story on Elizabeth, Darcy, and their friends and relations …
Hello everyone! I’m here today with the second in our author interview series, the first being when Christina and I sat down for a chat via Google Docs (it worked for us!).
