Good morning! Well, I’m finally getting somewhere with my next book, and I was wondering if you’d like to hear a little more about the story. If you’ve seen my earlier posts, you already know the premise: What if Mr Collins were to shock Elizabeth with his base conduct at the time of his proposal, …
Good morning! Thanks for stopping by for a chat today. I think you’ve already guessed which scatter-brained mamma I’m thinking of. Poor Mrs Bennet! In a time when no one had any understanding of genetics, it was regarded as the woman’s fault, and she was seen as having failed her husband, if …

For my After the Wedding post, I thought I’d choose Darcy and Elizabeth’s wedding night from The Journey Home to Pemberley. If you haven’t read the book yet, you might be surprised to find that, in this scenario, they marry at Pemberley (because that’s where their sweet reunion was: at Pemberley, in Mr Darcy’s private …
