Season’s Greetings, Dear Readers,
I’m delighted to say that my Christmas novella, Snow Over Netherfield, is now available for pre-order. Get your copy now!
This novella is a clean, sweet Pride & Prejudice variation of about 30,000 words, set in the midst of a pre-Christmas snowstorm. Best of all (at least in my opinion), it is an epistolary story, which means you get to read about Darcy and Elizabeth’s courtship in their own words.
Summary
My dear Aunt Gardiner,
…We are all gathered in Netherfield’s front sitting room, watching the snow drift past the frosted windowpanes. Mary plays; Mr. Collins talks; Miss Bingley surveys us all as though we were an infestation of rodents. Mr. Darcy stares out the window. Perhaps the force of his disapproving glare will frighten off the clouds?
Meanwhile, I am escaping conversation by writing this letter to you. By the end of this ordeal, you may find yourself in possession of a whole bundle of plaintive, impertinent missives from
Your most affectionate and beleaguered niece,
Elizabeth
When an untimely snowstorm traps the entire Bennet family at Netherfield after Mr. Bingley’s ball, Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves locked in a battle of wits. She is determined that Bingley will have the opportunity to propose to Jane; he is equally resolved to prevent an engagement. As their struggle leads them beyond the bounds of civility, they must confront their own deficiencies and mutual misconceptions. But can they reach an understanding before the snow melts? Or will their deepening feelings remain unspoken, recorded only in a series of unsent letters?
Snow Over Netherfield is an epistolary Christmas novella, full of romance, yearning, and a dash of comic misadventure. It is a clean Pride & Prejudice retelling of approximately 30,000 words with a happy ending for Darcy and Elizabeth.
If you prefer not to pre-order, Snow Over Netherfield will also be available on Kindle Unlimited on the release date. If you have the time, it would be a huge help if you could read during the first week after release. Pre-orders and early readers encourage the Amazon algorithm to promote my work, which helps other readers find it.
Wishing you and yours all the joy of the season,
S. E. Granger
