Good morning, Maria Grazia, and thank you for
hosting the launch post of my first JAFF blog tour for my latest release, Caroline, Pride & Prejudice Continued…
Book One. As you can tell from the title, I wrote a book about the much
vilified Caroline Bingley and provided her with a new romantic interest. In
light of this venture, I wanted to share with readers my very own Dreamcast for
my story. What fun it was to put this eclectic group of actors together, (read
that as much time spent on Google, sighing over images of handsome men), and I
hope it leaves readers with the desire to learn more about my merry troupe
characters!
I have written other romance stories, but
this is my first foray into the Regency era and with this in mind, I wanted to
convey a sense of who these characters are with regard to their looks as well
as in their own styles. Pride and
Prejudice has been adapted for the screen and stage so many times, that I
think that most Austen fans have in their minds a version of each central
character that is influenced by these adaptations, as well as created from the
images based on their own various reading experiences. It is my hope that my
Dreamcast resonates with the readers of Caroline
and helps them to create their own lovely images of these characters
throughout the story!
