Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

That was a lovely picture choice. The quote… man… that was so sweet. Could that be Mr. Bennet talking to his wife? Sigh, we have really seen a different side to her. I hope this adventure at Darcy House and being in London changes her and she becomes like she was when they first married. Maybe their relationship will heal and they become as they should be. She won him over the other harpy… oh, what’s-her-name, She should feel secure in his affection even though she might not have his respect. Maybe that too can be healed. I am so looking forward to this story launch. My interest continues to increase. I can hardly wait for this one.
That is Mr. Bennet speaking to Elizabeth. 🙂 I don’t picture him in this story as not respecting his wife. He knows her skills. He chose her for those skills as well as her beauty and the fact that he loved her. He still loves her. However, he has felt like a failure and that has come out in his inaction and his teasing. So, it’s not about how he views her as much as it is how he views himself. This sojourn in London is also the first time that Elizabeth is seeing this side of him and her mother through the eyes of a woman about to marry the person she loves, so her understanding of the relationship is also shifting so it gets revealed to us through that perspective. So there is more looking behind the outward appearance of the teasing to the heart beneath.
