Solos and Pride & Prejudice
​Pemberley Haunted
​
​
Kitty Bennet thinks this visit to Pemberley will be filled with endless rounds of charitable appointments and lessons to ‘improve’ her character. Not so. Not so. Instead, on this visit Kitty learns that there is more than one secret and one surprise hidden within Pemberley’s walls. She does not know that on this visit she will face fears, feel terror, laugh with gusto, stand up for herself, and fall in love. This is one visit Kitty will never forget.
​
Note: Like all of my Pride & Prejudice books, this book is a sweet romance--meaning there are no sex scenes.
​A Witch For Mr. Darcy
​
​
Miss Lizzy Bennet realizes one early autumn morning that a change has occurred in their Hertfordshire neighborhood. Sure knowledge—a magical gift—tells her that someone is coming. Or something? Or…both? Something sinister…something good. Which is it? Could it be Mr. Darcy, their new neighbor’s enigmatic guest? He has his own gift, one that is haunting and painful. Will she be able to help him, even though so many other events are affecting life at Longbourn House?
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy can hardly take his gaze off of Miss Elizabeth’s charming countenance. He has heard through the servants’ grapevine that she is a witch. An honest-to-God witch, not just an herbalist. He needs a wife. He knows he does. But will Miss Elizabeth be the best option for someone like himself? Someone troubled? He needs to find out.
​
Note: This book is also available as an audio book through Audible. It was read by Benjamin Fife. He did a brillant job! His whispering sections are particularly creepy!
​Lizzy's Curious Talent
​
​
Something magical happens every time Miss Elizabeth Bennet paints or sketches an image. However, she cannot control how her talent is revealed in her art. Lizzy is determined to live as an independent lady and needs her talent to provide the income for her dream. But, she has to be so very, very careful that no one discovers her secret.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy wants Miss Bennet, a notable artiste, to paint a portrait of his beloved sister, Georgiana, and he is willing to pay handsomely. She, however, refuses to paint adults. He does not understand her reluctance. Darcy is determined to discover whatever it is that Miss Bennet is hiding.
Searching for Darcy
​
Georgiana is missing!
When a frantic Darcy seeks out his friend’s help in finding his sister, he has no idea what unconventional method Bingley would suggest. Darcy has no interest in the metaphysical but he is more desperate than at any other time in his life.
Miss Elizabeth Bennet immediately responds to the urgency of Mr. Darcy’s request for aid. Where could Miss Darcy be? She sets off with him in a mad dash across the country, and the sea, in an anxious search for a most beloved sister.
Miss Bennet’s guidance and compassion comforts Darcy, sustaining his confidence in their success. The touch of her hand sooths his uneasy spirit.
Mr. Darcy’s deep affection for his sister reveals to Elizabeth an unguarded side to his forbidding person. As each passing mile draws them closer to Georgiana, their attraction to each other increases in depth.
​
Note: Dear reader, I thought I would explain the title a little here since it is a play on words. Lizzy is searching for Darcy because Georgiana is missing. Also, Georgiana's last name is Darcy. We are so used to thinking of Fitzwilliam Darcy by his surname, that we sometimes forget that it is not his given name. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Georgiana is particularly delightful, I think. Well, so is Kitty. And so are ODC. Happy reading!

Trouble at Longbourn
​
The Bennet family anticipates the arrival of their cousin, a man whom they had never seen before. When he arrives a day early, he is nothing like they had imagined. To Lizzy’s dismay, Mrs. Bennet immediately begins her matchmaking schemes.
Lamenting the coming of the obnoxious cousin, she then meets Mr. Bingley’s newly arrived friend, Mr. Darcy. His arrival only adds to her misery. Her peace is cut up and they are to blame. Soon, however, she discovers that Mr. Darcy is so much better and Mr. Collins is so much worse!
Darcy reaches Netherfield and wonders what is amiss with the tone of this Hertfordshire neighborhood. As a boy, he discovered his talent to influence the emotions of others. Trained by Aunty—a gypsy-witch of some renown—Darcy recognizes that trouble lurks nearby. Trouble comes to him, too, in the form of a feisty lady named Elizabeth Bennet!
Author’s note: At the end of this book, my ebook readers will find my newest Christmas Cracker novella, “The Christmas Times”. Also, I have included a teaser for my next P&P variation. Thank you for all your support!
A Spirited Exchange
​
Good Heavens! There are ghosts at Castle Omnis—ghosts with a mission.
How will the three eldest Bennet sisters react when they arrive there for an exclusive matchmaking house party? Lizzy, the more practical sibling, wonders if she should convince her sisters to return to Longbourn. Ghosts? Are they to be endured? Mary thinks so. Jane is not sure. Lizzy finds their interference maddening.
Darcy certainly does not wish Lizzy to convince the sisters to leave. He finds her fascinating—more fascinating than any other lady of his acquaintance. He realizes he made a huge misstep at the Meryton Assembly—he must make up lost ground. Castle Omnis seems to be the perfect place to show her that he is not the cad he at first appeared.
A delightful, amusing romp through the matchmaking challenges of a haunted country house party, where well-meaning specters seek the happiness of their charges.
