About this listen
“You will be coming out at your next birthday and you must act like the daughter of a gentleman so you can attract a husband!” Mrs. Bennet reminded her.
“Yes, Mamma.”
Elizabeth’s mouth was saying “yes,” but her heart was saying “no.” She visualized what it would be like at her first assembly. Would she dress like her older sister and be expected to flirt with prospective suitors? How would John Lucas and her other pals react to her if she acted as a young woman instead of as one of the boys?
As her mother droned on, she conjured a picture in her mind. Her mother was there in her imagination, sitting on a throne at the edge of the dance floor, surrounded by her friends. Jane was there, dressed as a lamb to be sacrificed on the altar of family security. Elizabeth entered the assembly. All eyes turned toward her, dressed by her mother in a ridiculous feminine and alluring dress. John Lucas came up to her and mockingly gave her a low bow and then burst into raucous laughter. Her other friends joined in, followed by the matrons and finally by Jane. In contrast, her mother looked pleased with herself, as if she had created a masterpiece that all could admire.
Mrs. Bennet’s second daughter had no interest in acting like a gentlewoman. The sooner Jane attracted a rich husband, the sooner Mrs. Bennet could stop complaining about the entail on their estate and the real prospect of being turned out to face genteel poverty. Elizabeth wasn’t thinking about her next birthday, nor of the dainty image she was expected to portray. She had her identity and she liked herself, just the way she was.

Story
So much in life depends on chance and sheer luck. How much do we often owe to being in the right place at the right time? In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet plans to visit the Lake District with her uncle and aunt, yet ends up at Pemberley instead, just as, by coincidence, Mr Darcy also arrives home. They meet, understand one another better and all eventually ends well. But what if they did not have such luck? What if Elizabeth actually went to the Lake District and was nowhere near Pemberley, and she and Mr Darcy never met again until another four years had gone by? Now...

Story
Author’s Note: ‘Flames and Passion at Netherfield’ is the second edition of a book originally released three years ago but removed shortly after. Its original title was ‘FROM PEMBERLEY TO PARADISE’. The story has now been re-published with a different title—one that better suits the narrative. Extensive editing has taken place (special thanks to Tish Holmes for her invaluable assistance), and certain changes have been made. However, the overall structure and main ideas remain consistent with the original version. The tale begins with a dramatic fire at Netherfield, just days ...

Mr Jonathan Phillips was certainly not in the best of moods. Yesterday had been an unusually hard day for him, and he could barely think how he was going to cope with all that it entailed. He looked over the manuscript he held in his hand then said blandly, “‘A respectable gentleman travelling on business was shot yesterday outside the town of Meryton, near the ancient Roman ruins.’ Is that what you consider a relevant beginning for a newspaper article? My dear fellow, do you really think that such news will make you a correspondent for The Times? You could not even dare to hope that ...

On its own though, it doesn’t really work. The story is meandering and convoluted. There were a number of stock descriptions that were used repeatedly. It was definitely inventive but not adequately paced or developed. I’m hopeful for the next one.
