It’s Release Day!


It’s an exciting day in my writing life.

None So Accomplished as Mary is now available everywhere, including in Kobo Plus and with your Everand subscription.

My Sweet Extras do not have print editions at this point, but I’m hoping to find the time to get those formatted and published at some point. To gauge how quickly I should work that into my schedule, I’d love it if you’d let me know if you’re an ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, NEVER, or ONLY IF IT’S LARGE PRINT paperback purchaser in the comments.

Thanks. 🙂

If you’ve already read this book and liked it, please consider leaving a review or rating at your favourite retailer, on Goodreads, or on Bookbub. You can also help me out by telling others about it on social media — and I’d love it if you’d tag me. Often, the hardest part of being an author is letting others know about your book and then convincing them to give it a try. So reviewing and sharing are so appreciated.

I know I’ve seen a few reviews on Bookbub and Goodreads already. Thank you to those who have taken the time to share your enjoyment of the story! <3

Now, here’s the book description for None So Accomplished as Mary for those who might be interested in seeing what the book is about:

He’d never fall for a matchmaker’s scheme. Unless that matchmaker was as skilled as she was.

Last year in Hertfordshire, Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam met the most interesting lady he had ever met. She was as fond of solving a riddle and just as reluctant to be pushed forward by matchmakers as he was.

When Mary Bennet arrives in town to enjoy the season, he’ll soon find out that she’s also the most accomplished lady he’s ever met at leading him down a merry path to right where he wants to be.

Download None So Accomplished as Mary, and join Colonel Fitzwilliam as he attempts to discover the missing bit of information to a puzzle, which he thought he had already solved, while sorting out how his feelings for his friend have changed to thoughts of forever.

None So Accomplished as Mary is the fifth novelette in Leenie Brown’s Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to How to Marry an Accomplished Lady. While this story is a complete story, it will be best enjoyed if it is read after How to Marry an Accomplished Lady. And actually, there’s one story before that which will add a final layer of delight to these two stories.

The complete, and most enjoyable Accomplished Lady reading experience, includes the following books:

1. An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort), A Teatime Tales novelette, in which Mr. Bingley and Mr. Hurst help Mr. Darcy realize that Miss Elizabeth is the only lady he should marry.

2. How to Marry an Accomplished Lady, Sweet Possibilities (book 5), in which Mr. Darcy’s resolve to withstand whatever may come on his way to achieving his goal of being Elizabeth’s husband is put to the test.

3. None So Accomplished as Mary, Sweet Extras(book 5), in which the colonel discovers, while uncovering a piece of the puzzle surrounding the kerfuffle about betrothal papers and Darcy, that Bingley and Darcy might have indeed been right about how well he and Mary would suit.

And that brings me to this:

UNTIL TOMORROW, April 5, An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort) and How to Marry an Accomplished Lady are 50% off (with the coupon) at Smashwords. The coupon will be applied at checkout automatically.

Have a great weekend! I hope it includes time to reading a book. (Maybe, my new release? LOL)

It’s a new release kind of day!

Yesterday was the day that this book went live on all retailers. The only places where I’m still waiting to see the book listed are Hoopla (which always takes forever) and Everand.

If you’re a subscription reader, the book is available to read “for free” with your Kobo Plus subscription, and it has been added to the Repository on Patreon for paid members to read.

FYI: There are changes being made to membership things at Patreon. The official reveal of all that will be coming soon, but for now, just know that all paid members have been given access to read this new release and the Teatime Tales prequel as part of their membership benefits. And memberships currently begin at $1 USD.

If you’re a paperback reader, both the large and regular print paperback editions are available on Amazon.

I got my copies of it just a few days ago, and they turned out very pretty. 🙂

How to Marry an Accomplished Lady, just like it’s prequel An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort), is not an angsty book. It’s not supposed to be. It’s more of a romcom — full of entertaining antics and enjoyment. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anyone trying to stop Darcy from marrying Elizabeth. Oh no, there are a few of those characters, who simply add to the drama that might just drive Darcy to distraction as he moves from determined to ask Elizabeth to marry him, to betrothed, to finally married.

And there are hints at what you might expect in the short sequel to this story, which will be a Mary and the Colonel novelette. (And which I need to get back to writing after the holidays).

If you’d like to see what some of the advance review copy readers are saying about this book, here are a few sound bites from the reviews I’ve gotten via my Booksprout Review Team.

If you haven’t gotten your copy of this book yet then click here to find it at your favourite retailer.

Please feel free to share news of this new release with your friends! You can always tag me on FB (@LeenieBrown) or IG (@leeniebbooks) and I’ll give it a like (as long as Meta lets me know about the tag — you know how social media can be 😉 ).

Have a great weekend! Happy reading!

Preorder and a Book Bargain

How to Marry an Accomplished Lady is now available for preorder!

Release day is December 26! So, put your order in now so that you can put your feet up on Boxing Day and enjoy a few hours of lighthearted Darcy and Elizabeth goodness.


ABOUT THE BOOK:

The course of true love never did run smooth. Sometimes, it must circumvent ridiculous relations and troublesome former friends.

Having come to the realization that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect lady for him, Fitzwilliam Darcy sets a plan to eventually secure her hand in marriage.

Elizabeth is amenable to his proposal, and so begins a courtship that is more of a formality than something which is actually needed to determine if the two lovers wish to pledge forever to each other.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as agreeable that the wedding should take place, and they do their best to cast shadows and present stumbling blocks.

If you like stories about two people, who are devoted to each other, rising above the calculated tactics designed to drive a wedge between them, then, you’ll enjoy this light-hearted tale about how Darcy and Elizabeth navigate the somewhat turbulent waters of life and love.


If you’re looking for the print edition, you can find both the regular print and the LARGE print editions on Amazon.


BECAUSE THERE IS A PREQUEL (that doesn’t have to be read first but makes reading the new novel more enjoyable) I have put it on sale during the pre-order period. So grab it at $0.99 (USD, CAD, NZD, AUD, EUR, GBP, or other local equivalent).
