Welcome to my blog, where I share my love of books, travelling, cats and other things... but mainly books!
An avid bookworm since childhood, I write the sort of stories I love to read – heart-warming, character driven and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, I find places inspiring and the setting of my novels often becomes as much a part of the story as the characters.
I lean heavily towards the upbeat and insist on a happy ever after. As one of my favourite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, ‘let other pens dwell on guilt and misery’.
I love travelling, words, cats and wine but never in the same glass, and I currently split my time between Switzerland, where I live with my husband and imaginary cats, and England, where I live with my characters.
Right… I am begging very nicely. Please Cass, can you post it tomorrow? Pretty please?
I am loving it!
And if you should need more test readers, I would be willing, nay delighted to be one…

🍩🍫🍷🍷. Now I may be wrong here but I rather think Darcy has given away his secret to his cousin? Hopefully he will discover how he has injured Jane and repair the situation before she can accept Mr Collins? THEN! Maybe Elizabeth will return his feelings and he will realise he absolutely can’t live without her? (Am I a little too optimistic?)

Hi Glynis, I hope for all that too but not too soon, please. I am enjoying the reading too much. Thankfully, we already know that this will be a long work… The characters will give us hours of pleasure thanks to the craftmanship of the author…

Wow. Too weeks of torture at least for Darcy. I wonder if you have a Hunsford moment planned. Sending Fanny May pixies and creams.

Great dialog! Isn’t it rude for Sir Walter to speak to the other end of the table? That is a question only. As for a bribe…. how would a Carac Tart do?

Sir Walter is rude. As it’s such a small gathering, he doesn’t really care.
I’ll confess, I have no idea what a Carac Tart is!! lol

Oh, such sweet torture for Darcy with Elizabeth just a touch away at dinner and staying on the same estate. His cousin’s response “at last” may draw the attention of more than just Elizabeth Bennet. Will it be contentious conversations, will he repent of his actions separating Jane from Bingley or will he decide to let E. know how he feels? No Hunsford in sight but they are staying near enough to each other to meet if they both take walks or if he rides out while she is walking…will she walk alone or with Anne? Throwing chocolate your way!

Darcy can be such a stubborn mule, and his cousin ought to give him a few pokes to get him moving ahahahaha. Love how Anne calls him “Your Mr. Darcy”, oh Elizabeth Bennet. Someone should lock them up in a room together, heehee.

I read that entire chapter with such a grin on my face, and laughed out loud a few times (the astute Colonel, Lizzy downing the sherry, Darcy discombobulated at dinner). Such a tease for things to come. Loved it.
