Scenes and Soirees

Some time ago, when Enticing Miss Darcy was just being published, I created a set of “scrapbook” pages for a post I did about it at Austen Authors. I came across those pages in my computer files and thought I’d share them here today. Sorry, there is no excerpt, but I think each page will give you a good bit of information about the story.

This book, as well as all my other Dash of Darcy and Companion books are on sale this month because next month, they are going to become exclusive to the Kindle store so they can be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. (Links to the series on several stores and info about prices can be found on my Current Book Promotions page by clicking here.)

At the end of Enticing Miss Darcy, you will find a short story sequel included in the book.

*whispers* The hero of the story is a Fitzwilliam brother. The third and youngest.

And a bonus image

Jack is one of the original characters I have created, so I’m going to include his “Meet the Main Character” card here for you to get to know a little about him. (Oh, and in case you are wondering, Alistair is the fellow who married Anne in Becoming Entangled and another original character. )

Remember this book and all the other Dash of Darcy and Companion books are on sale now and moving to Kindle Unlimited in April. I really do hope you’ll take a chance on this book and meet Jack.

A Travelling Coach and Pair (Henry Bunbury)

This drawing is the sort that will make me enlarge the image just to look at all the little lines that comprise the details in it. I also enjoy that it almost looks as if it could be moving.

I chose to share it today because Pretending to Love Mary begins in travelling coach, and I wanted to share the first few paragraphs of that story with you.

If you’re on my mailing list, you may have already read this story because I sent out an email with a link to download a copy yesterday. If you’re a Booksprout reviewer, you might have picked up a copy of the novelette to review. (Twenty out of the thirty-five review copies were claimed the last time I looked.)

If you’d like to join my mailing list, and you do so before March 7th (which is the release day for Pretending to Love Mary, you could also get a copy of this story for free.

If you’d rather just purchase the book, it’s on pre-order now.

With all that said, here’s the beginning of the book to pique your curiosity.

The Apothecary to See Miss Bennet

Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my upcoming release, His Father’s Last Gift, (which is currently on pre-order everywhere). The story begins during Jane’s illness at Netherfield, and the apothecary is indeed called to see her… but not just because Jane is not feeling well. Mrs. Bennet needs his assistance for another reason.
