Having read one of the many adaptations written to extend the story of "Pride and Prejudice", while he was delighted to be back in that world, he found the exclusively female perspective of the author was at times intrusive; since he could not let himself complain if he did not attempt it himself, he set out to write "Darcy's Tale".

Many of his friends are amazed that he should be writing a Regency romance; he takes a particular delight in that fact. ...more

Lucinda,

I am even more delighted you won--congratulations! I will post it Monday, but I have no idea how long it might take to get to you, having never sent a book to Surrey.

In any event, do let me know how you like it, and I hope you won't stumble on too many Americanisms; I tried, you know, but the mother tongue will slip in from time to time.

Best,

Stan
