 Elin Eriksen is a Norwegian author of Austenesque dramas, a proud mother of four children, a grandmother to a beautiful girl and happily married to her own Mr Darcy.

   She has exchanged chemical analysis of explosives and pharmaceuticals to stay at home with her children and write chaste and steamy, dramatic stories from the Regency era, Viking era and modern era, taking great liberties with the characters and the plot of canon.

   Elin likes to visualise by making boards of every story on Pinterest under the name elin.haraldsdatt.

Future releases:

2021:

August: Lord Harpenden's Daughter, the Bennets of elevated rank trope. A new story, not previously posted on the free sites. Thou, to whose eyes I bend...

October: Veni Vidi Vicious, Pride an

Time for an update as I have a lot of new projects in the making.

*Brother Dearest: A Pride and Prejudice variation where I explore what might have happened if Darcy was not such a good brother... Finished and in the final editing stages.
*A Sign of the Times: A contemporary mashup between PnP, SnS, Emma, MP, NA and Sanditon. It is a complicated story to write so even though I am about halfway through, it will be months until it is finished. Inspired by the many YA mashups, I wanted to write one with an adult feel. (My most romantic Darcy to date, I believe.)
*The Poldark Pride: Who would be better equipped to teach Ross Poldark a lesson than Mrs Darcy. Outlined but not started.
*Epilogue to Convenience of That Kind: Nesting up some loose threads and an answer to many who wanted more after the story was finished. I am picturing a longish one-shot. Outlined and started.
*HEA 2: outlined and started.
*I have an idea for a twist to Jane story where ODC are married according to Canon but Jane and Bingley have major issues... Outlined.
*Nidaros Saga: While writing Veni Vidi Vicious I thought the story could be made into a family saga but to do that I needed original characters to lose the restrictions of writing JAFF. I have written the two first books about Elysande from Mercia and Ulvhedin, the Norwegian Viking. The third book in this series will be this year's NaNoWriMo project. To make it easier on myself, I am writing in my native tongue of Norwegian.

Hi Jadeed!
I am in the process of publishing Still Waters, hopefully, within a week or two. My editor is done, all I need to do is a final read through, figure out how to format and publish. Since I have not done this before, it is a little difficult to promise an exact date.
Still Waters will be available to purchase on Amazon for 99 cents and on the Kindle Unlimited program. Because I have chosen to add it to KU, I am not allowed to have the story up on any of the free sites.
My other stories are still available on AO3 and FF for the time being. All but one on AO3 are Pride and Prejudice variations.
Thank you for asking!
I am thrilled that the story is missed :)(less)

Quotes by Elin Eriksen  (?)

“Dare I enquire what a venakot[18] is?” Darcy smiled at Elizabeth’s blushing countenance. She leant closer to whisper into his ear. “It is a sheath knitted from the finest wool on a lamb’s head and adorned with embroidered flowers for your—male part. Oh, I suppose it is done to boast about one’s knitting prowess, but it allows one to show one’s romantic interest.” It was good thing he was seated at a table, or his embarrassment would have been great indeed.”
Elin Eriksen, Wistfully Beautiful : A Pride & Prejudice variation

“He wore boots, but they were mostly covered by coarse woad-coloured trousers made of homespun wool. Elizabeth suspected that wherever he came from, they did not have a spinning wheel but still used the drop spindle with a whorl.”
Elin Eriksen, Master of Puppets: A Pride and Prejudice variation

“Dear God, is this my doing? Name the penance, and I shall pay it.”
Elin Eriksen, The Shadows of Absence

“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book

“True to form, the man had added two and two and come up with some absurd number such as seven and thirty.”
Jann Rowland, Whispers of the Heart
