New Release: Pretty in Print
Is the ending of the summer holidays bringing you down? What about those discouraging news headlines that pop up everywhere? My latest Darcy and Elizabeth romantic romp provides an escape -- just the thing to lift your spirits.
About a year ago, I stumbled upon a delightfully zany idea. I mentioned it to my pre-release readers. They went wild. That is when I realized that I had to write it -- even with an overwhelmingly busy teaching load.
Because who doesn't want a JAFF story where Mr. Collins is a secret romance novelist? Never mind why he did it -- delinquent Oxford tuition -- just seeing him squirm about the secret, while preening that he is an expert on romance, is way too much fun.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Pretty in Print at Amazon
In Regency England, a secret novelist hides behind a clergyman's collar . . .
When self-important Mr. Collins arrives at Longbourn, he is not just eyeing the estate he is set to inherit—he is also seeking a wife. His choice? The beautiful and kind-hearted Jane Bennet.
But beneath his facade lies a shocking secret: he is the author of popular romance novels. Never mind that they were written to pay delinquent Oxford fees, Collins is in a bind. And his pubisher wants more.
As Mr. Collins courts Jane with unabashed enthusiasm, her sister Elizabeth grows increasingly suspicious. Something about the him does not add up, and she is determined to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, the wealthy and enigmatic Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn into the intrigue, his own interest piqued by Elizabeth's sharp wit and keen observations.
As the stakes rise and hearts become entangled, Elizabeth must balance her suspicions with her growing feelings for Mr. Darcy. Meanwhile, Jane grapples with her sense of duty to her family and her own desires for happiness.
Mr. Darcy faces an internal struggle of his own. Having sworn off the idea of marriage, he is caught off guard by his growing attraction to Elizabeth Bennet. As they join forces to investigate Mr. Collins, Darcy finds himself drawn not only to Elizabeth's beauty but to her quick mind and independent spirit.
In the midst of unraveling one man's secret, Darcy must confront the possibility that he's stumbled upon a love he never expected to find, challenging everything he thought he knew about his future.
If you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, Pretty in Print is ready and waiting

The paperback edition will be available as soon as I receive my proof copy, with the audiobook to follow in early winter.

Sir Walter Takes a Wife: A FREE audiobook for you
Thursday was my birthday. Like Bilbo Baggins, I am eager to give a gift to YOU. 🌷
Here it is, a new audiobook. It’s waiting for you FREE on my YouTube channel.
Sir Walter Takes a Wife is delightfully voiced by Ruth Redman and features two of Jane Austen’s worst snobs.
Soon it will be making its way to over 40 audiobook distributors, including public libraries.
I’ve published it as a paperback as well. However, I have no guarantee that it will be available at Audible. We’ll see.
Here is the description:
Faced with a lonely future and finding himself strapped for cash (as the young bucks say), Persuasion’s Sir Walter Elliot manfully decides that the time has come to marry again.
His choice is a young woman of breeding and distinction. But alas, Sir Walter’s vanity is his undoing. He refuses to use his spectacles and so sends a Valentine to the wrong Lady Catherine. What a disaster!
That is, until Sir Walter gets a look at the woman’s grand estate.
Will the man’s handsome appearance and powers of persuasion be enough to win Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s hand? Not if she has anything to say in the matter!
Sir Walter Takes a Wife is part of A Very Austen Valentine anthology collection (2018), which is available in eBook and print editions. It is also enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.
The paperback edition of Sir Walter Takes a Wife is available separately.

I’ll add a “shameless begging” request. My YouTube channel has been growing, and I am grateful for each and every subscriber. Would you like to help me out by subscribing?
The link to Laura Hile Audiobooks is here .
In production for autumn is So This Is Love, also to be narrated by Ruth Redman. It’s a reader favorite because of the swashbuckling hero. I am very excited about this project — and it will be available at Audible. Stay tuned!

The Christmas Matchmaker: a FREE Audiobook for you
How can it be the middle of July already? It's plenty hot outside, but you can curl up beside the air conditioner and listen to this Christmastime story on YouTube.
This novella is from our A Very Austen Christmas anthology collection. It's my hat tip to the movie Stranger Than Fiction, in which characters in a novel wonder if they're being manipulated by an unseen force -- who sometimes changes her mind!
The Christmas Matchmaker made its appearance on YouTube on Saturday, and it will soon be making its way to over 40 audiobook distributors, including public libraries.
A washed-out bridge, unexpected guests, and a foolish illness
Not that the mumps is foolish, but really. Hasn’t everyone had it? Not Caroline Bingley, apparently.
So, the Bingleys and Mr. Darcy are stuck at Netherfield Park, along with guests invited by a mysterious relative known only as Aunt Jane. Who on earth is that? No one has met her, but Emma Woodhouse claims that she is no one to trifle with. Darcy has his doubts.
Later, when Elizabeth Bennet and her sister arrive seeking refuge, Darcy becomes even more suspicious. It’s as if someone is thwarting his plans to leave, while at the same time, encouraging the tender desires of his vulnerable heart.
Meanwhile, the rain continues to fall --- and Emma is eager to play matchmaker. This annoys Darcy, for she intends to match someone else with his beloved Elizabeth.
Miss Bates is gleefully warbling Christmas carols, and Tom Bertram is scheming to fleece them all at cards. What else can Darcy do but laugh and fall into step with whatever Aunt Jane has in mind?
Laura Hile’s The Christmas Matchmaker is narrated by Benjamin Fife and features your friends from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Mansfield Park.
The Christmas Matchmaker is part of A Very Austen Christmas anthology collection (2017), available in eBook and print editions. It is also enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

You've Got to Kiss the Girl: FREE Audiobook
Happy Father's Day Weekend. I have a new treat on YouTube for you.As you may know, I've been having my novellas voiced. They've been hiding in our anthology collections -- and my YouTube channel needs content! This one is from A Very Austen Romance.
You've Got to Kiss the Girl made its appearance on YouTube three days ago. Listeners are loving this Darcy and Elizabeth romantic romp.
* "This was amazing! And so fun! I couldn't stop smiling while listening to it! Thanks for sharing it!"
* "About halfway through, and it's great."
* "I enjoyed this story immensely. There was so much humour and only a little angst."
* "Well played, BRAVO!"
In July, I will be publishing Kiss the Girl as a paperback (so that the audiobook can be carried at Audible) and also at other audiobook venues.
Here is the description.
Darcy simply must marry Anne. It is his duty, for pity's sake!
And yet the man has done nothing. Anne de Bourgh isn’t getting any younger — and neither is Anne’s mother, Lady Catherine. Darcy must fulfill her late sister’s dearest wish!
But when Lady Catherine gets a look at the Collins’ lovely house guest, steel enters her soul. Darcy must marry Anne and soon!
Inspired by a rubbishy novel found in the garden, Lady Catherine takes matters into her own hands. If Darcy is forced to spend a week alone with Anne, he will have to marry her—like it or not! Plans are carefully made.
On the appointed day, Darcy disappears. Anne, however, is still at home. Then Lady Catherine learns that Elizabeth Bennet is missing. Merciful heavens! Have those unprincipled ruffians made off with the wrong girl?
Abduction, mistaken identity, and romance are waiting for you in this lighthearted Regency romp, delightfully narrated by Ruth Redman.

A Mother’s Day 99-cent sale and a new Audiobook
Happy Mother’s Day Weekend, friends! Here are treats for you to enjoy.
Now through May 16, 2023, In League with Mr. Darcy is marked down to 99 cents (Amazon USA and Amazon UK).
Would you like this eBook for your very own? Today’s the day! Here’s the link:
In League with Mr. Darcy at Amazon
As for the new audiobook, In Want of a Wife (from A Very Austen Noel) is waiting for you at YouTube — free. Narrator Benjamin Fife brings this fun story to life as only he can. I’ll put the link below. You’ll find this novella at most audiobook outlets (except Audible), and you can probably request it from your public library as well.
John Knightley gave a crow of delight. “You have a widow, and we have a widower.”
Mr. Darcy cannot believe his ears. Will John Knightley’s suggestion solve his troubles with his widowed mother-in-law? Could it be so staggeringly simple? Never mind that old Mr. Woodhouse does not wish for another wife. Or that Mrs. Bennet thinks only of finding husbands for her daughters. If Darcy and the Knightley brothers can put together this match, their problems will be solved.
However, what sounded simple over sirloin and port proves to be a massive challenge. None of the men can breathe a word to their wives, or all will be lost. Dear, oh dear.
Come to Highbury for Christmas and enjoy a merry dance of wits. Matchmaking husbands and oh-so-suspicious young wives make for a delightful Christmastime romp.

A FREE Audiobook is waiting! Check out my new YouTube Channel
Okay, so this is definitely a "Playing the Long Game" career move. Scaredy-cat me, taking another risk!
After my three audiobooks were pirated, I learned a few things.
1. The pirate channel had them for only a month, but each pulled in over a thousand views. So the audience is there.
2. Happy listeners posted positive comments. How were they to know the books were pirated? They were thrilled to listen for FREE, bless them.
3. My audiobook covers are beautiful enough to entice thieves -- and listeners.
4. The Pride and Prejudice Austen Variations Facebook group is AWESOME. These friends mobilized to protest piracy. YouTube took the offending titles down.
Why not take a chance and toss my hat into the YouTube arena with a channel of my own? My audiobook royalties are only a small percentage anyway. . .
So today I took the leap and created Laura Hile Audiobooks on Youtube. I even figured out how to convert an audiobook and everything. Head on over and listen for FREE. (And subscribe, pretty please?)
Love, laughter, and the Thorpes' skullduggery are waiting!
Narrator Benjamin Fife skillfully brings this fun Christmas novella to life. His specialty is fantasy-adventure, and thus he has the chops to deliver a rollicking good listen.
To keep my channel supplied, I will be sharing my other audiobooks and having some of my A Very Austen novellas voiced.
I won't be able to sell them on Audible (because Audible requires an eBook edition). That's okay. They're perfect for sharing on YouTube and at other audiobook outlets.
So stay tuned.
And if you have a minute, could you please subscribe to my channel? The link to Laura Hile Audiobooks is here.
Is this shameless begging? I'm afraid so. I need 1,000 subscribers before I am able to make money.
On the other hand, I have to start somewhere, right? Onward!

It's here! A Very Austen Noel
I could well say Here at last, because our A Very Austen Noel anthology has been a long time in coming. The pandemic took us down, but we fought back.
And now, we are thrilled to offer this collection of novella-length stories for your enjoyment. I'm smiling, because this time we each chose to feature characters from Pride and Prejudice.
A Very Austen Noel at Amazon

Treat yourself to this delightful collection of five Pride and Prejudice novellas. You’ll sigh, you'll laugh, and you'll experience the fun of falling in love all over again.
Here's what you'll find:
Maestro by Robin Helm
Shy, introverted Mary Bennet has resigned herself to a life of spinsterhood, but an extended visit to London opens her eyes to other possibilities. After Darcy and Elizabeth treat Mary to a concert given by an Italian master, Mary’s plan to live a quiet life alone turns upside down.
In Want of a Wife by Laura Hile
“What my father-in-law needs,” complained John Knightley, “is a wife.” Darcy could not believe his ears. Was this the solution to his troubles with the widowed Mrs. Bennet? Could it be so staggeringly simple?
Saint Nicholas Day by Wendi Sotis
Elizabeth and Jane Bennet go to London to help their Aunt Gardiner prepare for an annual celebration at the orphanage. Elizabeth’s plans to divert her sister’s mind from her heartbreak are toppled once they cross paths with the arrogant Mr. Darcy.
Kitty’s Christmas by Barbara Cornthwaite
Kitty Bennet is thrilled to be spending her first season in London with the newly married Darcys. Every invitation could mean an invitation to the suitor of her dreams, but Kitty soon discovers that there’s more to life in Town than high society.
No Small Spark by Mandy Cook
Widowed Charlotte Collins is settled into a life of service to the people of the parish. To her dismay, a visit to the Darcys reunites her with an old friend—a widower whose headstrong daughter determines that she will make a match of the two. Will the widow and the widower cooperate with her plans?
