Here is Chapter 5 in my latest work in progress. Elizabeth is still trying to keep her presence at Pemberley from Mr. Darcy. How much longer will she succeed? Here are some hints about this chapter: Elizabeth will confess something to her aunt, and there will be a new introduction. Finally, I promise you that …
Here is Chapter 4 of my current story. Elizabeth is forced to hide again, but I promise this is the last time. And we will get our first introduction to Miss Westerfield. I know you are all waiting for Darcy to discover Elizabeth is there, but you will have to wait a little longer. If …
Here is Chapter 3 of my current WIP. In this chapter we finally see some things from Darcy’s POV. What does he know – if anything? There will be some major differences in this chapter than are in Jane Austen’s original. I am sorry to disappoint those of you who began conjecturing about a few …
Do you cheer for the underdog? I do. Are you one who roots for the less-popular-but-totally-worthy girl to get the guy in the end? It makes such a satisfying story when someone succeeds against all odds, when people finally acknowledge the merits of one who was wrongly overlooked before. I long to see the so-called …
Two weeks ago I began posting my current WIP, which is only tentatively being called Falling at Pemberley. I’ve pretty much decided I’m not going to use that, but for the purposes of these posts, that’s what we’ll call it. If you have not read Chapter 1, click here. I will post Chapter 3 in …
I’ve been working on a new book, and I thought what better way to provide me with the incentive to keep on to the finish is to post each chapter here. I have about 15 chapters completed, but not edited. I am posting the first chapter today, and will continue to post every other week …
This is my third March Madness chapter in a story where Darcy meets and commiserates with other Austen men. In Chapter 1, he enters an inn hoping for some solitude as he is reeling from Elizabeth’s rejection, but he is joined by Captain Wentworth when there is no where else for him to sit. The …
I may have left everyone hanging when I posted my last chapter of Chance and Circumstance” here before publishing it. Mr. Darcy could no longer bear to see Elizabeth and Charles together, so he left during the Netherfield Ball, and returned to London the next day. A lot happens after he leaves, but I want …
Congratulations to Maria Maderi, who is the winner in the giveaway! I will be contacting you! When you meet another Jane Austen fan, your conversation might eventually lead to when and how each discovered her. I love hearing people’s stories, whether they were very young, or perhaps it has been fairly recent. I would love …
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe it is 2018. It seems each year passes more quickly than the last! But being January 1, we at Jane Austen Variations want to continue a tradition we have had during this month, and that is Jane in January. We like changing things up a bit, however, so …
