Time again for my post on AustenAuthors.net, and I’m contemplating what to write about as usual. Actually, what happened is that I decided a couple of things: to finish the Darcy Versus Series with a collection and to do a giveaway. The Darcy Versus Collection should publish this week with Darcy Vs Bingley, Darcy Vs… more goodness …
There are so many layers to Darcy’s personality: arrogance, vulnerability, determination, loyalty, honesty to a fault, love of family, pride (sometimes to a fault also), shy, lack of comfort with those he is not acquainted with, a sense of justice, sensitivity, and a lack of tact (i.e. his first proposal to Elizabeth). Like many of… more goodness …

At last, ‘Darcy vs Wickham’ is finally finished. I didn’t realize my first posting was in 2019 until just the other day. My apologies for being so long with this story. And what I find amusing is that it is probably the shortest P&P variation in the Darcy Versus Series. It was just a difficult… more goodness …
Well, Darcy Vs Wickham is coming along nicely and should be available by the end of February or sooner. So, I thought I would give you fine readers another excerpt. Enjoy the rest of Chapter one of Darcy vs Wickham. Bidding Georgiana good morning with her studies and practice of the pianoforte, Darcy and Elizabeth… more goodness …
Well, not only did I move into the house, I have added two beautiful Ragdoll cats to the mix. Friends of friends both passed away leaving two ten-year-old brother and sister cats. Family was unable to take them due to severe allergies. So, guess who got them. Yours truly. Sigh! They really are gentle giants:… more goodness …
Oh, my. The move to Illinois has really slowed things down. Everything is hurry up…and wait. 🙂 Hopefully, my new office will be set up by next week. I’ve done a little writing but not much since my new computer is not even set up. So, everything is a little out of place, needless to… more goodness …
Recently I saw interviews of the cast of Pride and Prejudice 2005 and enjoyed once again the camaraderie of the individuals involved. I think that’s why I enjoy the 2005 version as much as I do as the happiness and pleasure the cast had while filming brought them together as a family. Sometimes you might… more goodness …
What is a villain? A villain is an evil real person or a fictional character, whether based on a historical narrative or one of literary fiction. Wikipedia How important are villains to a story line? Well, consider George Wickham in ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ Would the story be as interesting if he was NOT included? How bland… more goodness …
I found Pride and Prejudice Variations when I discovered another author’s books in 2012. I found it fascinating that current authors were writing stories using Jane Austen’s famous characters. Years ago, I had read Pride and Prejudice but hadn’t pursued Austen’s other books. Probably I was involved with Agatha Christie’s mysteries or Science Fiction. Each… more goodness …
Well, I made it to Illinois in one piece, and I think most of my stuff did too. Still have a storage unit in Texas that my daughter and I will eventually retrieve. Shocked at how much stuff I accumulated in forty years in the same house. I may well advise everyone to purge at… more goodness …
Well, at least a little progress has been made toward my move from Texas to Illinois. This week, however, will be more than a little hairy as I have potential buyers coming June 15th to view the house, and I’m not even well begun with the simplifying, sorting, trashing, recycling, and packing, not to mention… more goodness …
Well, since I am in the process of moving from Texas to Illinois after being in my house for over forty years—with all that entails—I’m doing my posts a couple of months in advance and taking the easy way out. Start your day on a happy note. Sing along with these lovely music videos and… more goodness …
