Some of you may already know this because of conversations with me on Facebook (I couldn’t contain my excitement last week 😀 ), but my Persuasion-inspired addition to the Mirabelle Harbor series, which is also the final chapter in this contemporary Austenesque story collection, is now complete!!!!!!!! I’ve got the story details, and pre-order links!! AND, just …
Hey everyone, I’m so excited to finally reveal the cover for my upcoming novella, CLASH here at Austen Variations. CLASH takes place after SWAY, but stands alone. If you haven’t read about Ava Elliot from SWAY yet, but want a fun, quick read, or an idea of my style, CLASH is the way to go. And …
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 …
We’re celebrating New Love in February and there’s nothing I love better than a meet-cute between the hero and heroine. I’m currently working on a novella connected to my Persuasion retelling, SWAY. It’s a contemporary story (like SWAY is), and it’s about Ava’s sister Beth- who we all know and love (to hate) as Elizabeth Elliot. …
Howling winds buffeted Elizabeth Elliot’s window and shattered away the last vestiges of sleep. She pressed her head into the pillow and stared up into the bed curtains. Had last night actually happened? Yes it had. Colonel Fitzwilliam, second son of the Earl of Matlock had sat with her half the night. Perhaps he was …
Elizabeth pulled her shoulders back and lifted her chin. No one would have the satisfaction of seeing her walk with anything less than perfect dignity. Still, it was humiliating that the highest ranking woman, the baronet’s daughter, should have to follow the married women out of the room. Mrs. Knightley seemed artless enough, not up …
Elizabeth Elliot’s maid secured a final curl with a pin and tucked a bit of ribbon into her coiffure. “Is this what you wanted?” Elizabeth examined her profile in the mirror and patted her hair. “Yes, yes, that is very good.” “Will there be anything else, madam? Your wool shawl perhaps?” She tucked the shawl …
Elizabeth Elliot snuck a glance at her father. His forehead was creased and his lips pressed into a very distinct expression that only meant one thing: disgust. Proximity to the old and infirm brought it out and he no longer bothered to hide it. He used to, before they took residence in Bath. But there …
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam pulled the scarf a little tighter around his neck as howling winds battered the coach. What madness had seized the weather? Snow was unusual enough, but a storm such as this? Who would have expected it? Certainly not his cousin Darcy. Careful and meticulous as he was, he would never have set …
When I think Netherfield, I immediately think, balls! And dancing! (Obviously, I’m not the only one.) One of my favourite things about Austen stories are the balls, especially seeing them played out on the movie screen. There’s not a Pride & Prejudice lover out there who can’t picture Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy verbally sparring while dancing …
