I’m hard at work on my new book, and you’ll be hearing more about that soon, but in the meantime, I have some news about two of my favorite older books. Mr. Darcy’s Noble Connections and The Darcys of Derbyshire have new covers! I was never completely happy with the old ones which I designed …
It’s been a while, but I’m back again, ready to share my current WIP, Fortune and Felicity. For some reason, this novel took longer to write. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, it would take me in a different direction, which involved endless rewrites of earlier chapters. I’m done with the draft, though, so hopefully, there aren’t going to be any more surprises!
Fortune and Felicity is a Pride & Prejudice what-if variation, and it picks up just after Darcy’s disasterous proposal to Elizabeth at Hunsford. I’ll be posting chapters here on Jane Austen Variations while I work on edits. I’m looking to publish sometime towards the end of March, so keep checking the blog for updates.
So here it is. Enjoy!
Mr. Darcy spent the night battling his demons, urging them to come under his control.

I’m thrilled to finally announce my super secret project. On 15th September Bath’s fabulous Jane Austen Festival will host the premier of Being Mr Wickham, my theatrical writing debut, starring Adrian Lukis (who else!?) as Jane Austen’s quintessential rogue. Mr Wickham may be a little older, but is he any wiser? “Written off as a rake …
“I am beyond apologizing for my family,” Elizabeth sighed, as she and her husband entered their salon at the Palazzo Mocenigo and settled themselves on a richly tapestried sofa. The servants had been ordered to bring them a light meal, before they sought their beds, quite exhausted, for it was past midnight when they returned …
My new book Mr. Darcy’s Enchantment came out last week, and what a wild ride it’s been! The reader reactions and enthusiasm have stunned me. It’s every writer’s dream to write a book that totally wows its readers, and this is as close as I’ve ever come. Here are a couple of reader reactions : …
I’ve been hard at work on two very different books. My last post on my blog had an excerpt from one of them, and I’ll have more of that next month. The big news, though, is that my other book, Mr. Darcy’s Enchantment, will be released December 4! This story idea has been hanging in the …
Friends, it’s now just a matter of weeks until the Jane Austen Festival returns to the delightful city of Bath. My name shall, of course, be on a few lips this year thanks to the endeavours of my erstwhile editor, Catherine Curzon, and a gentleman whose name is forever associated with mine, Adrian Lukis. No …
Friends, it’s my pleasure to tell you that the name of Wickham shall feature not once but twice at the Bath Jane Austen Festival in September. Firstly, my erstwhile editor, Catherine Curzon, shall be giving a talk on a scandalous lady and all matters militia. Later in the Festival she will be joined by Mr …
We last saw Lydia and Wickham as they made their bed for the night in a coaching inn on the road to Gretna Green. Who were the mysterious figures in the darkness who caused Mr Wickham such concern, and how will our eloping couple fill the hours until dawn now the bedroom door is closed? …
