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, …

How Lady Catherine Became a “Witch”, by Jack Caldwell
How Lady Catherine became a “witch”, by Jack Caldwell Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. The monthly theme “Which Witch: Magic and Malevolence in Austen” was a little tough for me. I don’t write fantasy (at least yet), so how was I going to come up with a post this month? Then I thought about the …
P&P Dating Profiles
This month’s theme is “Blossoming Love.” I’m not sure this post fits, except that before love can bloom, two people have to find each other. Right? Today you might look for your perfect match online. Back in the day it was the personal ads of the newspaper. A while ago, I came across a clever …
Advent Calendar Day 5: P&P Party Crashers
Welcome to DAY 5 of our ADVENT CALENDAR. I hope you’re enjoying these special posts. Today I’ve got a fun, mash-up scene that should be brand new to most of you! But first a few words about the phenomenon of the Advent Calendar itself. In case you’re wondering, no, it’s not a Regency thing and …

Yet More Proposal Scenes by Jack Caldwell #3
Greetings, everyone. Jack Caldwell here. This month, our theme is “Will You?” That’s right, it’s a month full of proposals, the good, the bad, and the ugly! Most will probably melt your pudding, but you might just see a stinker in the bouquet. We all need to laugh, right? Okay, I didn’t write the above. …
An Eventful Morning
So – Frenemies is this month’s theme. Let’s have some more fun with it. In the WIP I’m working on at the moment, I’m gearing towards a different kind of frenemy situation that Elizabeth is not going to find in the least amusing. But that’s still on the drawing board, so I’ve written a vignette …
Advent Calendar – Day 19 – 1811: Mr Darcy’s Advent Season
Good morning! Hope you’re having a wonderful Advent Season so far. I thought this might be a good time to think of Mr Darcy (isn’t it always? 😉 ) and imagine how he might have fared in the run-up to Christmas, once he had left temptation behind and had been oh-so-successful in persuading both his …
A Ghost Story
It’s Halloween tomorrow, so I’m guessing you’ve already carved the pumpkins and stocked up for Trick or Treat. If you’re anything like me, that stash must be awfully tempting, so let me entice you to sneak away with a chocolate bar and think with some compassion of our Regency forebears, who had never tasted such …
The Ladies of Rosings Park – Chapter 14 and 15
The Ladies of Rosings Park is now published! Hooray! But in case you don’t have your own copy yet, I will continue posting chapters here every Monday until we finish Part One of the book (the time period covered in Pride and Prejudice). These early chapters read like P&P “missing scenes” – your favorite book from a different perspective. Last week …
