Updates from Abigail

Reynolds: The Guardians of Pemberley

News, news, news! I’ve got an update about my new book – and where to buy my old ones!

The good news is that the final book of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage – The Guardians of Pemberley – is coming along very well. I’m expecting to cross the 100,000K words line this week. It’s exciting, romantic, adventurous, and magical – all the things I had hoped for. My critique group has been cheering as Jack Darcy’s secrets are slowly revealed, Darcy grows ever close to his beloved Elizabeth, and Lady Catherine… well, that would be telling. 🙂

Sadly, though, it’s not coming out in April. I’d thought I could make it, and I almost did, despite a variety of real-life hurdles and emergencies, both medical and veterinary. Each time I fell behind, but got back on track because I was so determined to get this book out in the spring. But finally I reached the point where I had to say it’s time for my family’s health needs to come first.

So the triumph over Napoleon will have to wait until September, its original publication date. I’m really sorry it can’t be sooner – you’ve been so patient in waiting for the end of this story! And I hope to start posting some excerpts soon.

And now, some news about where to find my books! After a couple of years of keeping my more recent books exclusively in Kindle Unlimited, I’m now going to be selling some of them at all retailers, where they’ll be joining my oldest titles that have always been there. I’ll still be rotating them through KU, trying to strike a balance for my KU readers. Conceit & Concealment and A Matter of Honor are already available at all online retailers, and The Price of Pride will be leaving KU on March 23. They’re in Kobo Plus and other subscription services, too – plus you can ask your library to order them! All my Sourcebooks titles have always been available widely – To Conquer Mr. Darcy, What Would Mr. Darcy Do, Mr. Darcy’s Obsession, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy: The Last Man in the World, Mr. Darcy’s Undoing, and The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice, along with my two co-authored books, The Darcy Brothers and Mr. Darcy and the Enchanted Library. So there’s plenty to read, wherever you like to purchase your ebooks!

Not comfortable purchasing from US sources or any big business? Contact me! I’m happy to swap my books for a donation to charity. Let’s help the world!

My readers are my inspiration, and you’re what keeps me going when times get rough. Thanks for being there – and I promise there’ll be a great book for you at the other end!

    Pfeffernusse – my husband’s grandfather was a Swiss baker and used to make pfeffernusse cookies in big batches and my mother in law carried on the tradition. The siblings were each given a package of cookies at Christmas and my husband used to hide them, from me and or two sons. — thank you for sharing the picture as it brought special memories.

    As to the last book in this series, I’ll just have to read the other 2 again in early September to prepare properly to enjoy book 3. Thanks for the update. Take care of your family — they are to be treasured.

    1. What a wonderful pfeffernusse story! Our Pfeffernusse is just like them – white on the outside with some gingerbread showing through, and definitely spicy, too! Thanks for understanding the delay.

    “Exciting, romantic, adventurous and magical” sounds great! I’m sooo looking forward to read all three books!
    Although we have to wait longer, I think September is the perfect time for a book release – summer is over and the days get shorter, so there is plenty of time for reading…

    1. Thanks, Sabrina! I hope you’ll enjoy the series.
