Deconstructing Mr Darcy
I love writing about Mr Darcy. He's my favourite character in all of literature.
And yes, I know what you're thinking...

Because when I tell people that I love the character Mr Darcy, they immediately think of this guy...

... and this guy...

But even though that's all very nice, it's not actually what I mean when I claim him as my favourite literary character. If you want to know my incorrigibly nerdy reasons for loving him, click here to see my Tumblr post about it.

A new Jane Austen variation... coming soon!!!
I'm beyond excited. My new Pride and Prejudice variation is coming out soon.

This time, it's going to be about Elizabeth and Darcy's involuntary confinement at Netherfield Park. She's there to tend to her poor sister. He wishes he could stop feeling so attracted to her. They are really determined to stay out of each other's way. But the ghosts of Netherfield Park have other ideas...

The book is out on the 12 June 2023!!!

A New Year - A New Pride and Prejudice Variation :)
I'm really excited to be able to share this - my new P&P variation is available now!

This one is set before the Netherfield Ball. There's a rumour going around, which ties Elizabeth Bennet to the man she hates the most in the world. Soon it's beyond anybody's control and you can probably guess what has to happen next...

As Mr Darcy's betrothed, Elizabeth travels to London and there she is forced to spend much more time with him. Soon she is forced to admit that he not all bad...
But meanwhile she also learns more about his family, old buried secrets and gets entangled in an affair that threatens to undo all!
It's going to get sexy and it's going to get dangerous :)
You can get it now:
Amazon UK
Amazon US

What is happening to Stranded with Mr Darcy and Mr Darcy's Vice
This is a quick update about what's happening with my two novels. They are currently no longer available to purchase, as Hannah House Publishing ceased operations. I will try and get them back online as soon as possible, but it will take a few weeks as I get the rights back and get them ready for republication.
