In which the author tried a character study.
At this time, I was in another period where stuff happened and I was not in a good headspace for write. But the one thing I didn’t want to do was to stop. So I decided to try something I’d never done before and I did a character study. It was an interesting exercise, and I hope an interesting, if different sort of book.

His muse desires her; she detests him. How will his soul survive?
Gentleman artist Fitzwilliam Darcy had never been able to express himself in words, but with his brushes and paints, he expressed what few men ever could. When his flighty muse abandons him, though, he finds himself staring at blank canvases in a world that has turned bland and cold and grey.
Worried for his friend, Charles Bingley invites Darcy to join him in Hertfordshire, in hopes the picturesque countryside might tempt Darcy’s muse to return. The scheme works only too well. His muse returns, with a vengeance, fixated upon the one young woman in the county who utterly detests him.
Will his selfish distain for the feelings of others drive her and his muse away or can he find a way to please this woman with the power to bring color and feeling back into his world?
Yes, I remember this book. It is one of my favorites because it was so unexpected. By
I loved this Darcy. He was, as I stated in my review… more. It was fun watching him fight with his muse. Or, rather, watch his muse fight with him when he closed off his heart. I love stories where Darcy is an artist. There is just something about him that is… well… more. Thanks for this look-back on a 5-stars book for me.
