Vol III scheduled completion
Hi everybody,
Final update: It's out - I finished early. Hope you like it. Darcy's Tale, Volume III on Amazon
I have been receiving quite a number of questions regarding the completion date forVolume III: The Way Home. So far, it looks good for mid-August. The book is largely complete, in that the story stretches from beginning to end, although there are one or two thin spots, and a couple of letters yet to be written. Unless my world blows up, another month ought to do it.
7/20 Update
I am now pretty firm on a release date of August 17! :-)
Stan
P.S. By the way, be sure to comment on the two latest extracts, even though I have already toned down the Epilogue section I posted; the more feedback I get, the less uncertainty I feel, and the sooner I’ll be able to let go of the darn’ thing. :-)

My day has been made!!! I have been waiting for any word as to when Vol. 3 will be out. As of late, good P&P fanfics are few and far between. I CAN'T WAIT!

Great news!! I have 1&2 waiting for 3 until I read them :)

Yay - just was thinking about book three and happy to get the good news!
Thanks, guys!I wrote the words "The End" two nights ago, so it's just polishing now. I'm pretty excited! I plan to get it into Amazon on Aug. 17th.

You referenced two excerpts from volume III. Where would I find those?
Hi Diane,Excerpts, extracts, rubbish I need help with…pretty much all the same. ;-) You can click on “Scrawls and Screed” at the right top of the page and find all my blog entries. Thanks for asking!
Stan
Thanks for the tip on excerpts/extracts. I enjoyed them both and am looking forward to to volume III
Looking forward to Vol III! Excellent interpretation so far.Now, this may be a little early and presumptuous to ask, but have you ever given any thought to perhaps writing the story of another Austen hero after you finish with Darcy?
Dear Belle,I have, in fact, I’m thinking about doing Cpt. Wentworth, and his back story. Or I could take Colonel Fitzwilliam from Darcy’s Tale and make a new story for him. Do you have any thoughts?
Stan
I for one would really love a Cpt. Wentworth perspective!
I have, in fact, I’m thinking about doing Cpt. Wentworth, and his back story. Or I could take Colonel Fitzwilliam from Darcy’s Tale and make a new story for him. Do you have any thoughts?I am a selfish creature, Mr. Hurd. I must admit I would despair to have you write a story on Cpt. Wentworth. I am a complete P&P fanfic junkie and if you focus your writing talents on Persuasion, I know I will get hooked and become completely lost in another JAFF realm - once again. ;-) My comfort is Persuasion fan fiction is much smaller in scale than P&P. Counting the days until Vol III is published.

I would love to read about Cpt. Wentworth! I look forward to whatever you decide to write next.

Dear Rhae52,
Would you then prefer a “sequel” featuring Colonel Fitzwilliam?
Stan
Stanley wrote: "Would you then prefer a “sequel” featuring Colonel Fitzwilliam?"Mr. Hurd: Frankly, either back story would be fantastic. I love the POV of Darcy that you have crafted. However, I am very curious as to how you would construct Col. Fitzwilliam's characterization. Of course, I have my own opinion of the ideal Colonel and I wonder what you would make of his character.
Again, it does not matter to me which character you choose to focus on, as I know I would enjoy your work regardless. (Of course, for my sanity, I would probably prefer the Colonel's back story. ;-))
Rhae,Ok, food for thought. We see more of Colonel Fitzwilliam in vol III (did you notice my update at the top, that it is out now?). I like him, but he is, I think, in danger of turning into a crusty old soldier, and needs someone to write a girl into his life to save him from that fate.
Stan
Congratulations on the release of your new book! I don't see it on Amazon UK yet, hopefully it'll be there soon :)
Ceri wrote: "Congratulations on the release of your new book! I don't see it on Amazon UK yet, hopefully it'll be there soon :)"Thank you, Ceri; I very much hope it lives up to your expectations. Knowledgeable Janeites such as yourself and the others here on Goodreads and Meredith's blog are those I most wish to satisfy.
This is the link to the UK page: Darcy's Tale, Volume III
Thanks for the link! I searched for author name Stanley Michael Hurd and for some reason it only returned volumes I and II. I hope to read them soon :)

OMG!!!! IT'S BEEN OUT FOR NEARLY A WEEK!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE 17TH!
Yes. Col. Fitzwilliam definitely needs a woman; that's a plan.
OFF TO AMAZON.
Rhae52 wrote: "OMG!!!! IT'S BEEN OUT FOR NEARLY A WEEK!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE 17TH!"Actually, I should explain; the early release was just the result of more rookie mistakes on my part. I had fully intended to release the book on the 17th as advertised. But as a marketing experiment, I had bought ad space in a magazine that, I thought, came out after that. But it was in the subscribers’ homes a full month ahead of when I thought, so I had to do a bit of a crash to meet that deadline, or lose the benefit of an expensive ad. The experiment required that the two sets of readers get the word some time apart, so I could tell which group was buying; except I started to feel really bad that you guys were waiting, so I went ahead and notified you all here, and also the folks over at The Republic of Pemberley. So that’s how things got a little mixed up, for which you have my apologies.
