Here’s an excerpt from my current work-in-progress, Simply Beautiful (working title). I cannot decide if it’s the opening chapter or the prologue. I’m leaning toward the latter. Enjoy! Excerpt (First Draft) Mr. Thomas Bennet raked his fingers through his hair, and a dark strand flopped onto his brow. He caught it with his other hand…

It’s Just a Matter of Time, by P. O. Dixon
As June comes to a close, so does National Audiobook Appreciation Month. I’ve commemorated the occasion with several social media posts and a blog entry on my website.

Established the Foundation, by P. O. Dixon
“She is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me.” ~ Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 3 The infamous insult. Those words established the foundation for Elizabeth’s dislike of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. They will be equally damaging to Darcy in my current work-in-progress, Mr. Darcy, the Heir of Pemberley. It certainly does not…
The Certain Ills of Such a Choice, by P. O. Dixon
“In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” – Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 34 Say what you will about Mr. Darcy’s first proposal to Elizabeth. Presumptuous—yes.

A Change of Opinion
I credit my early interest in audiobook production to ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange). The platform afforded the ideal means for me to publish so many of my stories what with its generous stipend program and its ample supply of promotional coupons for free audiobooks (for which ACX fully compensated rights holders and producers as an…
A Story is a Story, by P. O. Dixon
What happens when we read a story? Do we sit back and let the words take us on a journey? Do we wait patiently for the conflict resolution with bated breath? Or do we skip through everything, peaking at the ending to see how it ends? We want stories that grab our attention, challenge us,…
