I’m so excited to begin sharing weekly chapters of my upcoming novel with you! Every Monday I will post another installment of The Ladies of Rosings Park here at Austen Variations. The book primarily tells Anne de Bourgh’s story, beginning with the period covered in Pride and Prejudice (the part I will be sharing here). So these …

Jane in January and You: Let’s Talk Heroes
Jane Austen’s heroes are some of the most varied, most intriguing, and definitely the swooniest out of all classical literature. Even people who haven’t read Pride & Prejudice know who Mr. Darcy is (at least, I’m assuming they do otherwise what kind of world do we live in?). If Helen was the face that launched …
WIP: When Pride Prevails, Chapter 1
As I promised last week, I’m posting the next chapter of my new novel When Pride Prevails. Although this chapter is Chapter One, you need to read the Prologue first. As you have already seen, my new novel involves a slightly more angsty Darcy than I usually portray. I prefer not to say too much …
An Excerpt from ROSINGS PARK – Mr. Darcy and Mr. Collins
Greetings, everybody! Jack Caldwell here. As anyone who has read the ground-breaking THE THREE COLONELS (a sequel to both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility), they know I love to write about Jane Austen’s minor characters, imbuing them with more human feelings, talents, and fallacies. I see them in shades of gray. After all, …
Chapter Three from ROSINGS PARK by Jack Caldwell
Greetings, everybody! Jack Caldwell here. One of the first novels I wrote was the ground-breaking THE THREE COLONELS, a sequel to both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. It was also the first book in my Jane Austen’s Fighting Men Series. I’ve have released the second book in that series, THE LAST ADVENTURE OF …
Darcy and Wickham: The Duties of Friendship Part III
The plundering of the papers of Mr Wickham have yielded a most illuminating correspondence with his old friend and brother-in-law, Fitzwilliam Darcy. Imagine our delight to discover that it extended to include correspondence from Mr Wickham’s grandson, Harry*, too. If you missed the first instalments of this series, you can read part one here and part two here. We hope …
Darcy and Wickham: The Duties of Friendship Part II
If you have been following the unearthing of Mr Wickham’s journals by his archivist and biographer, Catherine Curzon, you may have noted that in his later years, the self-professed scoundrel seems to have been reconciled to his boyhood companion and brother-in-law, Fitzwilliam Darcy. It seems that the two became somewhat regular correspondants, despite the *ahem* …
The Darcy Monologues
You may have heard around the interwebz, but there’s a new Austenesque anthology coming in May called THE DARCY MONOLOGUES. Fifteen stories, both modern and Regency, and all from Darcy’s point of view! *swoon* Why do I mention it? Well, two of the stories are by Austen Variation’s own Caitlin Williams and yep, me! …
March Madness – Mr. Darcy meets Capt. Wentworth by Jack Caldwell
Hello, everybody. Jack Caldwell here. As you may know, I’m working on ROSINGS PARK, my sequel to THE THREE COLONELS. Unfortunately, it’s been a slow process and I appreciate your patience. (It doesn’t help that I’m also editing my Persuasion sequel, PERSUADED TO SAIL, at the same time!) Anyhow, there’s an interlude in ROSINGS PARK …
