Hi friends, First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in my original Pride and Prejudice book cover contest here on the Austen Variations blog! I’ll admit—I was a little nervous at first. I worried that either there wouldn’t be enough votes, or that the responses would be so evenly spread out that I’d …
I’m glad you’re enjoying the Prelude to Pemberley segments so much! Although this isn’t an official one, it really could have been. It’s actually an excerpt from the prequel portion of my novel Fitzwilliam Darcy in His Own Words, before Darcy has met Elizabeth and he’s considering marriage in a very logically minded way. [If …
