When I was writing Mr. Darcy's Secret I was lucky enough to take a trip to Derbyshire for inspiration and research. In my book Elizabeth Bennet's aunt, Mrs. Gardiner, has a friend, Mrs. Butler, who lives in Lambton. We know, of course, that Mrs. Gardiner lived in Lambton herself once upon a time so I assumed she would have made friends there. I stayed in the village of Beeley on the Chatsworth estate and it was here that I was very taken with the house below which I thought would be a good...Read Full Story

Apologies for the light blogging of late. I'm in the midst of Jane Austen's Emma - and is the case with most early nineteenth century novels, it's slow going. Still, I'm enjoying the book - far more than I thought I might. Speaking of Austen: here's an interesting link.
But where Austen pulls inspiration from haunted and gothic novels, James pulls inspiration from the Twilight saga. In "Northanger Alibi," Claire Hart, the younger sister of Chloe from the first book in the series, "Pride and Popularity," travels ...
We're safely in Auckland, NZ, and holed up at our favorite B on the planet, the Eden Park Bed and Breakfast. Though we've been here once before with friends J, this is our first time to meet the new resident canine: Mr. Darcy. Darcy's a spoodle -- a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. He's bouncy, cuddly, always on the lookout for a friendly lap to sit in, and quite the ambassador for the place. He's taken a shine to me, and I like...
They’re famous words because they turned out to be so famously wrong. Pride and Prejudice may offer more thrills in the roller-coaster courtship between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Persuasion offers more swooning romance.
In my opinion, no one played the leading male character in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, like Colin Firth. He IS Mr. Darcy. So much so, that the writers of Bridget Jones’s Diary gave his character the last name Darcy as a nod to his famous role.
Ever wonder what would have happened in Jane Austen's novel, "Pride and Prejudice," had Elizabeth Bennet not ended up with Mr. Darcy? What if Elizabeth instead agreed to marry --- gasp! --- Mr. Collins? Or crossed paths with Emma Woodhouse, or harbored ...
ARTINFOJane Austen Inspires Another Chick Lit Movie, “Austenland”ARTINFO“It's not about Jane Austen's life and works,” Meyer told Screen Daily. “It's about people who love them. We're having fun with what a lot of us are, which is Jane Austen fans who'd like to be able to get into that story if we can.
Shannon Hale's Midnight in AustenlandI enjoyed Austenland quite a bit, so was eager to read this sequel/companion, where another woman goes on the Austen-themed vacation and meets a whole new cast of Austen-esque characters (with one memorable returnee from the previous book)--and was pleased that this one had a mystery thrown into the plot (a la Northanger Abbey). Look, these books are nice light reading and Hale's writing is really enjoyable...
Starting where Austen left off in "Pride and Prejudice," James continues the story of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy as they begin married life together at Pemberley, Darcy's lovely country estate. Elizabeth has learned to subdue her pride and overcome ...

English author Jane Austen may have died over 190 years ago, but interests in her novels and life has never been stronger. Today there are new novels and nonfiction books being written by talented and creative authors to suplant the 'need to feed' our obession with Jane Austen and her Regency life. Featured here are articles on Austen prequels, sequels, spinoffs and other Austen-esqu faire. It all started in 1914 when Sybil G. Brinton wrote Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen. Now there are hundreds to choose from! Enjoy.
