Announcing The Darcy Monologues!

2/9/2017

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I have been invited to be part of a wonderful new anthology, the brainchild of editor extraordinaire Christina Boyd of The Quill Ink. The Darcy Monologues is a collection of short stories written exclusively in Darcy's point of view by 16 Austenesque authors, many of whom you know and love: Sara Angelini, J. Marie Croft, Karen M. Cox, Jan Hahn, Jenetta James, Lory Lilian, Judy-Lynne, Beau North, Karalynne Mackrory, Ruth Phillips Oakland, Natalie Richards, Sophia Rose, Joana Starnes, Melanie Stanford, Caitlin Williams, and yours truly! If your interest is peaked, I've provided a link to an interview with Christina and Just Jane's C.A. Pepe on Austenesque Reviews below.

Austen Authors Pride & Prejudice Readers Choice!

4/24/2013

Since the P&P 200 was such a success, the Austen Authors group has decided to begin another ambitious literary undertaking: The Pride & Prejudice Readers Choice!

In case you haven't already guessed, The Bennet Brother (an original story by the Austen Authors) follows the same spirit of the P&P 200, where many of your favorite Austenesque writers take turns writing the story.

But this project isn't a collective of scenes from Jane Austen's most beloved story, but an entire, original novel written by the members of Austen Authors; and the best part is that YOU, the reader, get to decide what happens next!

Here's how it works: Simply visit Austen Authors every Wednesday, when the latest and greatest installment of the AuAu Readers Choice will be posted, read the chapter, and then vote on one of several plot devices. The next chapter of The Bennet Brother
(which will appear the following Wednesday) will feature the most popular vote. It's that easy, and so much fun! And don't forget, authors love feedback, so don't be shy about leaving comments!

I very much hope to see you there!

Darkness Falls Upon Pemberley

10/19/2012

Halloween is on the horizon, and during the month of October I'm celebrating our spookiest holiday by posting a very short supernatural novella at Austen Authors. So far there are eight parts including the prologue, and it's been so much fun to write; not to mention, I love going back to my roots by posting a story online in serial form, especially among so many wonderful friends, both readers and authors alike.

I hope you'll stop by Austen Authors and have a peek. There are other authors at AuAu, too, (twenty-two in all) who make it worth a visit, including Abigail Reynolds, Sharon Lathan, Mary Lydon-Simonsen, Regina Jeffers, Susan Mason-Milks, and our newest AuAu member, Syrie James. (You can also find Darkness Falls Upon Pemberley here on my website, under the "more" heading.)

I hope you'll enjoy it - Happy Halloween everyone!

A conversation
of a questionable nature between an Author &
a Gentleman
or
A much better
use of this silly
side column . . .

FD: So, you write novels, then, Ms. Adriani?
SA: I do.
FD: And these novels are about me?
SA: They are, but there are other characters featured in them as well. I can't only write a book about you, Mr. Darcy.
FD: Ms. Aiden has. Three, as a matter of fact.
SA: Yes. But I'm afraid I'm not Ms. Aiden.
FD: (narrows eyes) No. I suppose you're not. (scrutinizes author) You also appear to be much shorter. Tell me, is Miss Bennet in your book?
SA: She is.
FD: Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! (grins) Am I handsome in these books you write? Does Miss Bennet find me handsome?
SA: You're always handsome, Mr. Darcy, and yes, Miss Bennet happens to find you extremely good looking, but I wouldn't let that go to your head. You have quite a talent for ruining your chances with her very early on in the story.
FD: (frowns) What? Whatever do you mean?
SA: I mean you have a dreadful habit of insulting her, repeatedly. Your first proposal alone in Miss Austen's Pride & Prejudice is a perfect example.
FD: (shifts awkwardly) Oh. Yes, that was dreadful.
SA: Very.
FD: (rubs back of neck) Miss Bennet's mother is dreadful, you know.
SA: Sometimes, but she means well; the entail and all...
FD: And her youngest sisters. They're dreadful as well.
SA: True, but they are, after all, very young, not to mention quite impressionable and neglected.
FD: Mm. I suppose. (clears throat) So, does Miss Bennet ever agree to marry me in any of your stories?
SA: She does, actually. You are handsome, after all.
FD: (exhales in relief, smirks) You said extremely handsome before, but I suppose I can overlook it this once.
SA: How generous of you.
FD: (waves hand dismissively) It's nothing, madam, but please, do carry on writing your books. I greatly admire a lady who improves her mind by extensive reading - er, writing.
SA: So I've heard.
FD: (twists signet ring, clears throat) Why aren't you writing anything? Is your pen in need of mending? Here, allow me to help. I happen to be excellent at mending pens.
SA: Are you?
FD: Yes.
SA: How interesting.
FD: (scans desk for pen, scratches chin) Is there any chance, do you think, that Miss Bennet might want to mend my pen in the near future?
SA: Would you like her to mend your pen?
FD: (swallows) Very much.
SA: I'll see what I can do.
FD: I'm most obliged.
