Did that title grab your attention? I bet it did! A tad misleading, I admit, as THE Mr. Darcy didn’t magically coalesce into a flesh and blood human, nor did Matthew Macfadyen pop into Bardstown for the Christmas holiday. Bummer indeed, but I did receive the next best thing thanks...
Amongst the many joys of writing a series of novels, one of my favorites is expanding upon the characters created by Jane Austen. Over the course of time, I have created a complex history for all of the characters. I have strived to imbue them with life, personality, habits, style,...
