I started writing a sequel to Mr. Darcy's Obsession about Mary and Georgiana but never finished it. They each married unexpected men. In Mary's case, an aristocratic suitor for Georgiana's hand fell in love with Mary instead, and Georgiana fell in love with a revolutionary who was injured at Peterloo. But I never finished it because of publishing issues.

(view spoiler)[Was it Lydia and Mr. Browning’s argument that led to Mr. Browning’s stroke? And later, Lydia was not mentioned again because they had already fled in a hurry. Also, The Bennet family has five daughters, but the book never mentions anything about the marriage of the third daughter, Mary. Why is that? Did she choose to remain unmarried for life? (hide spoiler)]
Abigail Reynolds
Yes, in Mr. Darcy's Obsession, Lydia's argument with Mr. Browning led to his stroke. While I didn't mention her, afterwards she remained with her husband, Lieutenant Ralston, following him to wherever he was assigned to serve. Mary Bennet, as in Pride & Prejudice, never married, remaining instead to care for her mother.

Thanks for your question and for your interest! I'd love to see one of my books available for Chinese readers. The translation rights for Mr. Darcy's Obsession are a bit complicated. Could you contact me through my website at https://www.pemberleyvariations.com/c... so I can give you the full explanation privately and explain what we could do? Looking forward to hearing from you!

(view spoiler)[You're a careful reader! :) One of the themes in that book was how no one in the Regency could really tell who a child's biological father was, and this was one more case of that. I don't answer that question in the book, but I put in some hints as to why Aunt Augusta is so very interested in Darcy and Georgiana, even though she barely saw them for many years. I didn't put in as many hints about who his father was, but let's just say that he's not Aunt Augusta's favorite person! (hide spoiler)]

Only in spirit this year, unfortunately! I'm busy trying to put the finishing touches on my next book which is scheduled for release Dec. 2. But I'm thinking of all of you who are there and enjoying it vicariously by seeing the AGM posts on social media!

I hope to get back to work on Book 3 this summer, so cross your fingers! Thanks for your interest. :)

No need to read the books in order - they're each independent. The latest, Mr. Darcy's Journal, just came out on audiobook, but there are audio versions of all of them. I hope you give one a try and let me know what you think!

Thanks for your interest, Julie! I do plan to complete it, but I'm not sure when it will be. The next book is over half written already!

Yes, there seems to be some sort of problem with Nook. I've been in touch with Barnes and Noble to try to sort it out, but no luck yet. :( If you don't want to wait, Kobo uses the same format as Nook so you could buy it from them and transfer it to your Nook. Thanks for your interest and sorry about the problems! https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebo...

I don't know if any are available for free in Qatar. If you can't use epubs, you can download pdfs of some of them cheaply at Gumroads - https://gumroad.com/abigailreynolds. Good luck!
