You can find some free reads on my blog, although they're not edited as they would be for publication (that's the part that slows me down).<br /><br />@Deborah- My husband works 50-55 hours a week as well! It's exhausting and then his days are off are filled with things around the house and usually watching the kids so I can write. I hope you get a break soon and can reward yourself with a good read. <br /><br />@schilds- Thanks! <br /><br />@LuAnn- <i>The Gentleman's Impertinent Daughter</i> is a novella so it is brief in some areas, but I did try to make the most of Darcy and Elizabeth's interactions from the get go and I came up with some back story for the Bennets and even Darcy and Georgiana's relationship. I admit, it is a little brief on Wickham, and nothing extra from the original on Caroline Bingley or Lady Catherine. I do have other stories that flesh that out a lot more, but I thought they were unnecessary in this one. All we know in the original is that Lady Catherine wants Darcy to marry Anne and that Caroline clearly wants to marry Darcy. I don't delve in to greater insights on their characters because I didn't want them to steal the show in such a short work. I hope that's not a disappointment to most. If it is, then I think you'll enjoy the next story I publish, <i>No Cause to Repine</i>, which is full length and has more room to explore what really makes several characters tick.<br /><br />@Cyn and NovElla- Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />Thanks again for hosting me Maria and to all that read and commented! Good luck in the giveaway!Rose Fairbankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01838173402965567451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-16261125217278560732014-08-09T23:26:55.883+02:002014-08-09T23:26:55.883+02:00Me, too—I love Pride and Prejudice variations!Me, too—I love <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> variations!NovEllahttp://novellaandbanannabelle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-71131878983095625582014-08-09T22:37:52.123+02:002014-08-09T22:37:52.123+02:00I cannot wait to read this!!!

The speech and mannerisms of the time were a kind of poetry unto themselves.

The way you write dialogue between ODC is just fantastic.<br /><br />If I'm not lucky enough to win, I WILL be buying this book eventually.<br /><br />Good luck with the blog tour and looking forward to reading more from you.Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580018261533290062noreply@blogger.com
