P&P The Untold Stories: Elizabeth Remembers

Going to Derbyshire? How can she without thinking of Mr. Darcy?

May 20th, 1812

Derbyshire. That one word brought it all flooding back to my mind, all that I had so studiously endeavored to put from it. My heart had been set on seeing The Lakes, but my aunt’s letter two weeks ago not only put an end to that thrilling expectation, but replaced it with something like apprehension at the thought of diverting to Derbyshire instead. Even now, I am tormented by the idea.

I cannot think of Derbyshire w...

P&P The Untold Stories: What Was Wickham Thinking?

Do his charms still work on Elizabeth?

May 18th, 1812

He was by no means discouraged. Mary King may have slipped through his fingers, but what did it matter? There were plenty more fish in the sea. And after all, it would have been selling himself pretty cheap to settle for a freckled face with only ten thousand pounds. He could… he would… do better in the end for being rid of her.

In the meantime, it might be entertaining to renew his flirtation with the intriguing Elizabeth Bennet. He’d had t...

Preview: Worthy of her Love – Chapter 1

How did May sneak up on us so quickly? I have a lot happening this month! My oldest is graduating from Texas A&M this month and was accepted to graduate school, and I have a new book ready for you. We’re finally getting around to Jane. I’m sure it hasn’t been easy for her to watch Elizabeth, Amelia, and Nicholas find their HEAs and be left the sole Montford cousin left unwed. But don’t worry! This isn’t the last book. I have considered Georgiana an honorary Montford cousin since the first book, ...

“Consequence of Courage” Chapter-3

 

Hello, dear Janeites!

The month of May is in full swing and I don’t know about you, but reading always makes me happy. I was just speaking to a new friend about how books have shaped my life. What a wonderful way to get lost from our own troubles and sorrows, am I right?  And what better way than ANOTHER happily ever after starring our favorite couple?

 

We are now in chapter 3 of Consequence of Courage. For a quick recap, Elizabeth thwarted Wickham’s plan in Ramsgate and Wickham pushed her i...

How Elizabeth & Darcy Met on Mother’s Day

I posted this vignette a few years ago, and with it being Mother’s Day this upcoming weekend (for those of us in Canada and the US at least), I thought I’d re-post it. I hope you enjoy this bit of silliness!

The Bennets

A few hours and it will be over. It is such a gorgeous day. A bike ride through the ravine. That will be my reward for being the good daughter, Elizabeth promised herself. She had arranged to take her mother, Fanny, and father, Rupert, to one of the best brunch spots in the cit...

Georgiana and Darcy, an excerpt from Seasons of Waiting

Have I mentioned that I love Austen Variations’ monthly themes (brainchild of the amazing Joana Starnes)? This month’s theme is “Under May’s Changing Skies.” Looking up at the bright blue ether now, I am so happy to welcome the changing skies of late spring to New England! (We’ve had some very gray days around here this winter.)

Lately, I’ve been challenging myself to write short stories based on the monthly themes, if only to tease myself out of my doldrums when I’m stuck on my never-ending nov...

Preview of Coming Attraction

Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my new P&P story!  At 63 pages, it’s either a very long short story or a short novella. It’s essentially finished, but since it’s presented in a Christmas framework, I will probably wait to publish it until closer to the end of the year.

Technically, it’s fantasy, I guess – glimpses across time, ghostly visitation,  or was it only a dream? – which you might not expect from me. Title? I’m planning on It’s a Wonderful Life, Mr. Darcy, because of the basic premise...
