I take a personal interest in this month’s theme of Sonnets and Bonnets, because as it happens I am the daughter and the wife of poets. My father, Paul Eaton Reeve, was a fairly well-known avant-garde Greenwich Village poet who did most of his writing and publishing in literary magazines in the 1930s and 1940s. …
The day is finally here: the cover reveal for Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words! Next to the actual launch, the cover reveal is the most exciting part of bringing a new book out into the world… at least for me. My mom was an artist, and so I very naturally developed an interest in …
It’s snowing here in the South of England with blizzard-type conditions, so this would be a great time for Darcy and Elizabeth to be stuck indoors together in an isolated hut somewhere where they would have to sleep under the only blanket if they wanted to stay warm… In any case, our current storm is …

Uh, oh. Now I’m in trouble! You can throw rotten fruit, but no death threats, okay? 😉 I like writing happy books. But last summer I posted something on Facebook about how much I’d enjoyed writing variations where Mr. Darcy had a brother, and suddenly an evil plot bunny sprung full-grown into life right in …
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 …
As promised, here is the third episode of the new book I’m working on, Fortune & Felicity. If you haven’t read the first two episodes, you can catch up with the Prologue here, and Chapter 1 here. Chapter 2 Elizabeth winced with pain as she stepped on a tin soldier left in the hallway by …
Here’s the first chapter from my Pride & Prejudice variation Fortune & Felicity. It’s my second post, so if you haven’t read it yet, I would recommend reading the Prologue first. As you can see from the date, the actual story starts seven years after Darcy’s disastrous proposal at Hunsford. I will leave you to …
As I considered the Stormy September theme this month, I had several books to select passages from. Storms seem to be a popular (at least to me) plot element in writing. I would have liked to include something new, but my life the past few days has been turned upside down – not by a …
