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… Read the full blog post …

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:… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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… Read the full blog post …
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.

Sometimes it’s hard for an author to decide which of their own writings they like the best. If I had to choose among those, I’ve had the privilege to write, there would be something special about each one. With Elizabeth’s Choice I had to do a lot more research whether for one of my series… Read the full blog post …
In Pride and Prejudice, the Bingley family consisted of Charles, Caroline, Louisa, and Louisa’s husband, Mr. Hurst. Louisa was the oldest, and Caroline was the youngest sister and probably the middle child. Even though Charles was the head of the family—as both parents were deceased—his sisters had a tendency to rule the roost and manipulate… Read the full blog post …
