A Spot of Sweet Tea
In which the author tries a new format.
After eight book, I caught a couple of plot bunnies that weren’t quite enough for a full novel. They wouldn’t let go of me though, so I went ahead and wrote them and collected them into a short story collection. It was great fun exploring some short and sweet idea.
I give you …
A Spot of Sweet Tea
Sweet, Austen-inspired treats, perfect with a cup of tea. Full of hope and ripe with possibility, beginnings and new beginnings refresh the spirit with optimism and anticipation
Four Days in April.
Two letters. Four Days. Everything changes.
After offering a most disastrous proposal of marriage and receiving a rebuke he will never forget, Fitzwilliam Darcy writes Elizabeth Bennet an equally memorable letter.
What if she answers it with one of her own?
Last Dance
To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love. Mary was not. Nor was she fond of dresses or balls or parties, or any of the things most girls her age adored.
With three sisters married, Aunt Philips insists she must be next. But is dancing essential to falling in love?
Not Romantic
Once burned is twice shy. Charlotte has no place for romantic notions or sentimentality. All she asks is a comfortable home and a man who is respectable and steady.
But the only man she knows who fits that description pines for her best friend. Must she betray her friendship to pursue everything she has ever hoped for
Sweet Ginger
Harriet Smith has abandoned all hope of a home and family of her own and plans a future teaching for Mrs. Goddard.
Things change with the arrival Rachel and Margaret Martin whose grumpy old bear of a brother might just have a taste for ginger.
I liked these little short stories.
I have read and reviewed each of the individual stories and loved them. I also own the compilation but have not put in a review for it. I need to do that. That would be a great re-read for a snow day. It won’t be too long before we have our snow days. Oh well. So long fall and welcome winter. Thanks for the walk through the ages of your writing. This is fun.
I have only read the first of these. It is just a matter of too many stories and too little time. Thanks for sharing here…some day I hope to read the others.
