He’s an annoyance. She’s a puzzle. Together, they make sparks fly.

Is love’s enchantment powerful enough for a gentleman bent on remaining single and a lady equally as determined to marry only a man with an estate to come to an understanding? Or will love find itself rejected and shivering under the stars of a winter’s night?

Feeling himself drawn to the enchanting Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy plans an escape from Netherfield. It isn’t until his arrangements are all in place that he discovers Elizabeth has made an escape of her own and is now right where he doesn’t want her to be. In town. And he’s about to spend a good amount of time with her and her relations.

A Quick Note about Today’s Story

It is late on Monday night, and I have just finished writing this week’s chapter. I am going to reread it tomorrow so that I can make sure the majority of the mistakes are fixed before I share it. So, there will be a His Sensible Heart post this week, but it will just be later than normal.

I will, however, be taking the next two weeks off from posting on my blog (other than a Music Monday post) to spend time with my family and to enjoy the holidays. (I do apologize for having to break at a point in the story where things are getting a bit messy 😉 ).

I’ll be back later today (Tuesday) with that chapter of the story for you.

Christmas Prayers (Henry Bacon)

Isn’t this painting fantastic? I saw it when doing an image search and just had to share it with you. There is a lot to like about this image, but do you know what I like most? It’s that little fellow turning to look at the artist capturing the moment in a painting. It just makes the image look so real and unstaged, doesn’t it?

Over the course of the two and a half weeks that Darcy had stayed at Netherfield before departing to collect his sister, Bingley had insisted that they call on so many of the neighbours as was possible so that one and all could see that Darcy was not the cold and uncaring person Wickham had touted him to be. He had also insisted that Darcy be seen in Meryton twice with Elizabeth – once in a carriage and once while walking the streets and visiting the shops.

And then, there had been church, where, each Sunday, Darcy had sat with Bingley, but, immediately upon completion of the service, had sought out Miss Elizabeth. Bingley wished he could take credit for that action as it had set several tongues to wagging immediately, but he could not. That was entirely Darcy’s doing.

Music Monday: Christmas Ambiance

PUBLISHED TO YOUTUBE BY SERENE AMBIANCE ON NOVEMBER 30, 2020.

I’ve had several videos of fireplaces with Christmas instrumental music playing as I write lately. I picked this one because it is one of the shorter ones. (Some are up to eight or even eleven hours! I just pick up where I left off one day when I start the video again the next day. 🙂 )

Today, I am sharing a short excerpt from two books that have a specific location in common. So this post, like the video above, could be a longish one. 🙂

This first excerpt is from Two Days before Christmas.

December 2020 Saturday Broadsheet

Can you believe we are already at the end of the year? It’s been quite the year, hasn’t it? But before we bid farewell to 2020, let me tell you what I have been up to in my writing life this past month and what is on the horizon to happen (hopefully) before the year ends or just as the calendar turns.

Story Updates

Here are a few updates on stories I have been working on and what I am planning to work on next:

Christmas in Gracechurch Street: This story was supposed to be on preorder today. It’s not – which fits for this story. It has not been where I wanted it to be the whole time I was writing it. I am a person who likes schedules and routine. This year has been one of working on flexibility, whether I wanted to work on it or not. 😀 However, all the edits should be done by the end of next week, and I have penciled in December 15 as the release day for this book.
