Good morning! I hope you’re having a lovely and relaxing summer, and that you’re ready to party at the 10th Annual Austen in August, hosted by www.thebookrat.com. I’m delighted to say that this post (along with the other ones that I’ll share with you later this month) is part of the Austen in August celebration of …
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about writing and what it means to be a writer. I’m in the process of drafting my second Pride and Prejudice variation, and to be honest, it’s been a challenge. Unlike many authors, I didn’t always want to write. I never dreamed about seeing my name on the New …
For those of you who aren’t aware, each month we choose a theme that some of our authors may choose to write about. Our theme for this month is Summer is the time for Picnics, and I knew right away what I wanted to post. This is a scene from “Only Mr. Darcy Will Do,” …
Since this past week was Easter, and our theme this month is Spring Has Sprung, I thought I would post an excerpt from “Mr. Darcy’s Rival” when Elizabeth is in Kent. In the first part of this excerpt, it is Easter Sunday morning, and everyone is gathered at the church for the Easter service. Mr. …
Sorry, there is no excerpt from the book today, but there is a giveaway! (Details at the bottom of the post.) This is more of an announcement of the pre-release of the kindle version of the book, accompanied by the cover reveal and the book’s title. The kindle pre-order has gone live, and the link …
As I mentioned last week, this is the last chapter I am going to post. Next week I will give more information about the book. For starters, there is a different title than what I’ve been using here, mainly because this is just what I called it when I began writing it. I will also …
I have to admit, your comments and suspicions about Miss Westerfield greatly entertained me. There was nothing false about the accident, and no manipulative motives in writing Darcy requesting that he come. Derbyshire is a good distance from London and her home, and from Wakespur Manor, where she was, it would have taken longer for …
Things have not gone well for Darcy and Elizabeth to have an honest talk with each other. Will it happen in this chapter? If you are new to the story, you can find Chapter 1 here. I hope you enjoy, and please be kind to the author, no yelling. Chapter 13 Elizabeth spent the afternoon …
Again, thank you for all your comments. In Chapter 11 Wickham showed up, and we’ll see a little more of him in this chapter. Something prompted the Westerfields to decide to leave, but will Darcy find out what that was? And will their departure open the door for Elizabeth and Darcy to finally talk? Maybe. …
I was delighted with your comments last week saying how much you enjoyed the chapter. It was fun for me to write, and your positive feedback is always appreciated. Having said that, well, all I can say about this chapter is, “I am sorry.” You know that it is too early in the story for …
