Here is Chapter 6 of my WIP. I had been posting once a month, then mentioned last month that I would be posting twice this month, but I changed my mind. I’m going to post 4 chapters. They will be on different days of the week, as I decided after most of the days were …
Here is Chapter 5 of my current, untitled, WIP. (I am narrowing down my choice of a title!) In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Elizabeth and Mr. Bingley meet first, because both Jane and Mr. Darcy are gone. I have been posting once a month, but next month I will post twice. I hope to …
Good evening from hot and sunny Oregon! I have had the absolute pleasure this week of being whisked away by my very own Mr Bingley (he’s far more cheerful than Darcy, and I like it that way) to a child-free writing retreat at the lovely Oregon Coast. I have had cool temperatures, a private room, …
Here is Chapter 4 of my yet-untitled WIP, a Pride and Prejudice variation where Elizabeth meets Mr. Bingley first, as Jane and Mr. Darcy are both away. If you have not read the previous chapters, here is the link to Chapter 1. Chapter 4 Elizabeth endured the ride to Meryton with her mother and three …
I love this time of year. I particularly adore when all the flowers pop out from hiding and the weather warms enough for us to walk out and enjoy them. Today’s “May Flowers” post is a brand new vignette written to accompany my current work in progress, entitled These Dreams. You will be the first to read hints …
Who is Georgiana Darcy, anyway? I was halfway through the book I was writing about her, and I still wasn’t sure I had all the answers. I think most of us have this vague idea about Miss Darcy from Pride and Prejudice – that she’s a sweet, soft-spoken girl – but that’s hardly a well-rounded, …
Ever wonder how Mr. Wickham convinced Georgiana to agree to an elopement? I did. It’s one of the questions that intrigued me about the enigmatic Miss Darcy when I set out to write her story. The book (tentatively titled Miss Darcy of Pemberley) is nearly finished now, and I can tell you that it …
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 …
Today I’m sharing the first half of chapter 2 from my current work-in-progress, an excerpt which amounts to a “missing scene” from Pride and Prejudice – when Darcy takes his sister to meet Elizabeth for the first time at the Lambton Inn. It’s told from Georgiana’s perspective because that’s what the whole book I’m writing …
The first draft of my new story Alone with Mr. Darcy is now over 55,000 words long (yay!). It’s been a slow process since Darcy and Elizabeth have been particularly rebellious about following the plot line, so I’ve had to cut long stretches of what I’ve written. It’s frustrating to edit out several weeks worth of writing, …
