Today’s musical selection is a song that a reader suggested would go very well with His Beautiful Bea. Of course, as soon as she mentioned it in a comment on darcyandlizzy.com, I had to go on a YouTube search for it. I found several versions of the song. And you know what? Carmalee was so right! This song is perfect for Graeme, absolutely perfect! After listening to several of the versions, I settled on this video because I liked both the sound quality and the pictures. 🙂

His Beautiful Bea will be “LIVE” on all my sales channels tomorrow, August 1, 2017.
Also happening tomorrow:
It is my day at austenauthors.net, so there will be an excerpt — from the card playing scene for those who have been fortunate enough to read the book — and a giveaway as well as an explanation of what the Touches of Austen books are.
If you’ve been following my blog or have subscribed to my newsletter, you are very familiar with what a Touches of Austen book is. However; not everyone is. So, I will be explaining my take on Austenesque as it pertains to this collection of stories.

Getting everything ready for the print version of my release and making certain all the preorder things were in place took a good bit of time this week, but I still managed to learn some new stuff (Photoshop related), and I didn’t have to miss my writing time to do it!
I am about 10K shy of having the first draft of Dash of Darcy #4 done. (No, still no title — I need to see if the idea behind the working title still holds true when I reach the end before I commit to it.)
Dash of Darcy #4 is shaping up to be a fun tale with some commotion and upsets but nothing “dire” or “grave” or “life threateningly dramatic.” However, though these disturbances are more amusing than angst-inducing, they still do their work to draw out a different side of Darcy and to show him to Elizabeth as a man she can and does love.
(Side note: The story starts at the conclusion of that horrid proposal and refusal, so I think, ODC started out at the worst point in their story. And to me, when I consider the purpose of the story, there seems to be no need to delve deeper into drama. I believe the results can be achieved through lighter events.)
Below is a scene from this week’s writing that I think shows a bit of how Darcy is changing. Continue reading Music Monday: Turn Around, Look at Me, The Vogues
