Coming Soon: Fixed Stars

I am delighted to announce that my next Pride & Prejudice variation, Fixed Stars, will be released on 1 August 2024. The book is now available for pre-order on Amazon and will also be included in Kindle Unlimited upon release.

Fixed Stars asks: What would happen if Darcy became engaged to the wrong Bennet sister? The answer, of course, is yearning, scandal, strife, and more than a dash of romance.

Here’s the official summary:

In the autumn of 1811, Miss Bennet encounters Miss Darcy in Hyde Park, and the two swiftly strike up a friendship. Acute concern for his sister’s happiness moves Fitzwilliam Darcy to propose marriage to the kind young lady. Only when he arrives in Hertfordshire does he discover that he is engaged to the wrong Bennet sister.

Bound by honour to another, can Darcy ever confess his love for Elizabeth? And if he does, will scandal and ruin be the only result?

Fixed Stars, the first book in the Primum Mobile duology, is a tale of thwarted longing and familial strife–but also of perseverance and triumphant love.

Although there will be a sequel, Fixed Stars is a complete story with (spoiler!) a happy ending for Darcy and Elizabeth.

On Monday, I’ll be posting three possible covers for the book and asking you to vote on which you like best.
