Merriment: a scene from Brother of the Bride, by Jack Caldwell Greetings everyone. Jack Caldwell here. This month’s theme is merriment. Now, few people know merriment like us Cajuns.

Hello again. I hope everyone’s at home [if they can be] and keeping safe in these tough times. A big virtual hug to all of you who are feeling isolated and need a bit of cheering. The anticipation is over. Elizabeth has an interview with Darcy. But how will the encounter go? A lot is …

Every Monday I will post another installment of my upcoming novel, The Ladies of Rosings Park, here at Austen Variations. The book (which will publish in March) primarily tells Anne de Bourgh’s story, beginning with the period covered in Pride and Prejudice (the part I will be sharing here) and then carrying well beyond to her own happy ending.
