Beetiful designed the book cover for Darcy’s Spotless Reputation by Jane Grix.
Just when Mr. Darcy thinks things can’t get worse.
Fitzwilliam Darcy undresses completely to swim at Netherfield Pond, but when he’s finished, he finds that his clothes have been stolen. He tries to get back to the house without being discovered, only to meet Elizabeth Bennet, the woman of his dreams. What a nightmare.
Darcy’s Spotless Reputation is a Pride and Prejudice Variation novella, based on Jane Austen’s most famous couple.
EXCERPT:
Elizabeth smiled briefly and looked away and Darcy hesitated, not wanting to overwhelm her with his admiration. But there was so much he wanted to tell her – he felt like a volcano.
Don’t be the Pompeii of love, he told himself.
I specialize in writing stories for readers who want a quick romantic getaway with Mr. Darcy.
I've been half in love with Mr. Darcy since I was twelve, although I'll admit, the first time I read Pride and Prejudice, I was totally taken in by Wickham. I was stunned when Mr. Darcy proposed (I guess I was reading too quickly to catch all the hints), and even more stunned when Wickham turned out to be a jerk. But by the end of the book I was completely smitten by Darcy. I am still smitten.
The best part about writing Jane Austen Variations is that I can relive those moments of discovery and watch Elizabeth fall in love with Darcy one more time.
All my books and short stories are standalone stories, each with a slightly different Darcy and Elizabeth. Some stories of my stories are shorter (novellas) and some are longer because they are more complex - similar to the difference between a television episode and a movie. I believe both can be satisfying romances.
