There’s no question we all love Pride and Prejudice. In January, we had some fun sharing a few new “Scenes Jane Austen Never Wrote.” They were so well-received we decided to create a few more. Over the next six weeks, we’ll be sharing two brand new scenes each week. Here’s what’s coming: April 1 – …
Here, as promised, is part 2 of chapter 2 of my current work-in-progress – a variation of my own popular novel The Darcys of Pemberley, this time written entirely from Georgiana’s point of view. This is a flashback scene where Georgiana remembers what happened when Elizabeth (and the Gardiners) visited Pemberley, only to be met …
Do you have a favorite real-life “love story”—your own or that of someone you know? A romance that simply makes you smile whenever you think about it…no matter how long it lasted, be it a few days or multiple decades? We’re all inspired by the heartening love stories of our beloved Jane Austen characters, and …
We’re in week 3 of our ‘Jane in January’ event and hope you are enjoying our special focus on “Pride and Prejudice.” “If one could but go to Brighton!” observes Mrs. Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, “A little sea-bathing would set me up for ever.” In my novel Mr. Darcy’s Challenge, she has an opportunity …
We’re in week 3 of our ‘Jane in January’ event and hope you are enjoying our special focus on “Pride and Prejudice.” Christmas is over and the Bennet household has shrunk from a large, merry party to a small, subdued family group.

This originally appeared on December 23, 2011. It seemed like a fun idea to republish it this year! Don’t miss Part 2 tomorrow! During the celebration of Jane Austen’s birthday, I began to think about what I might give her as a birthday and/or Christmas present. (We December babies are quite accustomed to people merging our …
Many of you have been asking about it and it’s finally happening!!! Mr. Darcy’s Challenge, the second volume of Mr. Darcy’s Pledge, will be coming out on November 25th. It will be available for pre-order in the next few days (I’ll keep you posted about the date on Facebook). Meanwhile, I’ll also be having a cover release on …
I’ve had such a lovely time writing this book – to be able to combine all my favourite things into a special Christmas novella has been immense fun. Christmas is always a magical time, and so when a little bit of magic helps to propel my heroine, Lizzy, into the world of Pride and Prejudice, she feels …
Well, the day is finally here! This is the official release of Mr. Darcy’s Pledge and I’m thrilled to be having it here on Austen Variations to celebrate with such a familiar and supportive group of readers. This is my first Darcy-centric novel and quite different from my other novels in that it’s a …
The day is fast approaching for the official launch of Mr. Darcy’s Pledge and I thought I would share the cover with you. It was designed by the enormously talented JD Smith. I think it creates a certain atmosphere though I can’t put my finger on quite what it is. Can you think of a good …
