Karen V. Wasylowski was born in Chicago, Illinois and is now a retired CPA living in Florida with her husband, Richard. "We married late in life, first for both of us - started right off with the happy second marriage, avoided the often disastrous first altogether. No children. Just dogs."
Karen's book, Darcy & Fitzwilliam, A Tale of a Gentleman and an Officer is a very different continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and the first book of what has turned into a Darcy and Fitzwilliam Family Saga...
Darcy & Fitzwilliam Sons and Daughters Wives and Lovers Saints and Sinners Georgiana's Story (short story)
Georgiana is about to have her first London season at age nineteen, and she throws everyone for a loop by falling in love before they can even begin. Darcy and Elizabeth have their first baby already, and Fitzwilliam and Amanda are pregnant with twins. Life is never boring for this family, especially with Lady Catherine insisting on helping Georgiana prepare for her presentation to the Queen.
I sincerely hope this author writes more books. Her humor is priceless, as it makes all the characters, even the pompous ones, lovable. Darcy and Fitzwilliam are like a stand up comedy together, so witty and playful their banter flies back and forth. This is a very short story, and I wish it was much longer because I was having such a good time reading it and laughing out loud.
The story is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.
This book made me laugh! Some reviewers didn't like it, but I found myself laughing until I cried, especially after Georgina 's lived made fun of Colonel Fitzwilliam and Darcy until they started laughing. They laughed even harder as Georgina explained how heartbroken they would be if she didn't have a season.
