Hi there! Please join me as I ride the learning curve while writing my third Regency Pride and Prejudice variation. As a contemporary author of over thirty books, it is a fun challenge to learn the ins and outs of writing in an entirely different voice. Contemporary authors are cautioned to eliminate as many adverbs and adjectives as possible. Lean prose! Now I find myself completely spun around, and happily adding delicious, nutritious, scrumptious adjectives.

My experiences as a Love Investigator—having personally interviewed over 500 men—prompted me to imagine what Darcy might have been thinking as he left the Hunsford parsonage after his horrific attempt at offering for Elizabeth Bennet’s hand. Taking what I had learned from my six years of travel, exploring the minds of men, I decided to apply my knowledge to Darcy’s state of mind. The result is my new novella available for pre-sale with a release date of January 20, 2018.

New York Times & USA Today bestselling authors: Diane Capri, Tawny Stokes and Jamie Lee Scott, along with their friends, Hildie McQueen, Fiona Quinn, Scott Silverii and Teresa Watson, bring you this spine tingling collection. Available as a collection for a limited time only! Unlucky 7 is an anthology of seven tales of murder in small towns. Each story is new and has never been published.
