Sue Barr . . .

‘The prairie dust is in my blood but no longer on my shoes.’

It’s been many years since Sue called Saskatchewan home, yet her roots to that straight-lined Canadian province run deep. Only one thing was strong enough to entice her to pack up and leave: love. When her very own Mr. Darcy, in the shape of a determined, handsome Air Force pilot, met this feisty small-town prairie girl and swept her off her feet, they embarked on a fantastic adventure, the fruits of which are two sons, their wives and seven grandchildren. When hubby retired from the military to start a second career in the airline industry, they settled in beautiful Southwestern Ontario.

Sue began writing in 2009 and sold her first manuscript in 2010. Always a reader of Regency romance, starting with the Grand Dame of romance herself, Barbara Cartland, Sue discovered Jane Austen Fan Fiction in 2016 and almost immediately plot lines began dancing in her brain and Caroline: Pride & Prejudice continued… Book One was launched.

Sue loves to can and preserve her own food. She cooks and bakes almost everything from scratch and grows herbs to dehydrate. Her latest venture is to create spice seasonings, experiment with artisan breads and make homemade vanilla. Thank goodness she has an enormous pantry!

Pride & Perception: a Pride & Prejudice variation
What if…

The entail on Longbourn had been broken?

The Bennets owned Netherfield Park?

Jane Bennet had firm opinions?

Lizzy overheard the second derogatory comment Darcy made about her beauty? After the Bennets had dined at Netherfield Park, he said, “Her a beauty? I should as soon call her mother a wit.”

Yeah – that one.

This is a story where we explore all these beautiful what-ifs.
Caroline: Pride & Prejudice continued... Book 1
Why were all the men in her life so addlepated over two country misses?

Caroline Bingley, beyond frustrated with her brother, Charles and Mr. Darcy both proposing to the Bennet sisters, dreads their upcoming nuptials. For three years her sole focus has been on attaining a marriage proposal from one Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley, only to be foiled by a country miss with ‘fine eyes’. Adrift and not sure of her place in life, she meets the mysterious and devastatingly handsome Lord Nathan, who equally vexes and intrigues her.

She intrigues him, this spoiled, red-haired vixen even though she still pines for Mr. Darcy…

Lord Nathan Kerr, third in line to a Dukedom, had a well-earned reputation as a Rake. He cast all that and his noble title aside to become Mr. Darcy’s vicar in Kympton, finding contentment in leading his small flock and doing the Lord’s work. His plan for a quiet, country life is thrown into upheaval when he meets the fiery Miss Bingley. Can he reconcile his rising desire for the spoiled miss with how a vicar’s wife ‘should’ behave?
Catherine: Pride & Prejudice continued... Book 2
Some secrets are not meant to be shared

Catherine Bennet knows this better than anyone and the one she carries will remain hidden forever. This means she’ll never marry and it never bothered her before she met Lord George. He’s determined to breach the walls of defense so carefully constructed around her heart and she’s just as determined to stay the course.

Some secrets cannot be shared

An agent for the Crown, Lord George Kerr, concealed his espionage activities beneath a blanket of gossip, drink and loose women. Though forced to resume a more mundane lifestyle among London’s finest, he covertly seeks a traitor to England. All trails seem to converge around Miss Catherine Bennet, a reticent country miss, who unwittingly has captured his heart.

Some secrets are beyond your control

With the very lives of England’s vast network of spies working undercover in Bonaparte’s France hanging in the balance, Catherine is forced to face her worst nightmare. Her secret laid bare; can George love her enough to overcome what he learns?
Georgiana: Pride & Prejudice continued... Book 3
She longs for true love…

A dowry of thirty thousand pounds places a hefty weight upon the shoulders of Miss Georgiana Darcy. Her tender heart has been broken before by a cad who cared not one whit for who she was, but as a prize to be won and she fears no man will ever see the worth of her heart.

Duty and honor…

These are the stalwart columns which hold up the life of Maxwell Kerr, Fifth Duke of Adborough. After rescuing Miss Darcy from an inescapable compromise, an offer of marriage is as natural to him as breathing air. When he discovers this is not the first compromise she has evaded, anger becomes his faithful companion and threatens their tenuous bonds of love and respect.
Fitzwilliam Darcy ~ Undone: A Pride & Prejudice Alternative Universe
She’s the outcast in her family…

Elizabeth knows she’s different from the rest of her family. She has visions and strange dreams and sees things others do not. With the advent of the odious Mr. Darcy and his friends from Netherfield Park, as well as the amiable Mr. Wickham of the _____shire Militia, her powers seem to increase and her greatest fear is that she won’t be able to contain them and will be discovered.

He has eight hundred years of tradition to uphold…

No Darcy has married a non-magical woman since arriving on the shores of England with William the Conqueror in 1066. However, his kind – Miatharans – are dwindling in numbers. Miatharan magic only flows through aristocratic blood lines, so his strange obsession with Miss Elizabeth Bennet is puzzling as she is not of noble blood. Just a country squire’s beautiful daughter who has him slowly becoming undone.
