    Visit almost over :-(

    My guys have been here for various lengths of time since last Friday, and it's been fun to have them all together. Playing cards, talking, eating together, and catching up on all their lives is the food that a mother lives on when so many miles separate us. My soldier son swings between encouraged and discouraged about what he sees in Iraq, but he enjoys his assignment and getting to know the people he is protecting. I'm glad to know that not much of the extreme violence in the country is active in his part. I've been busy making their favorite meals and and keeping the dishwasher going.

    I sure appreciate all the friendliness and gratitude people express to my soldier son and even to me when they find out he is serving. Whatever your view of what is going on in the Middle East, I hope that all of you will reach out to every soldier you see and encourage them in some way. It means so much!

    Young Master Darcy, Chapt. 2

    Hello!

    Yes, it's been way too long and we won't even go into the reasons why. BUT, here I am and with a peace offering of Chapt 2 of YMD.

    www.wytherngatepress.com

    It's April, the 5th, and it's snowing! What is the deal, here? Even native north Idahoans are shaking their heads. But this April is unique for alot of other reasons.

    1. The vote on my library's building project bond is on, ballots counted on the 22nd.

    2. We're holding our first ever community-wide month long book reading program using John Grogan's Marley and Me and the 2 kid's versions

    3. My son in the Army is flying home from Iraq next week and his two brothers will be flying up to meet him! I'll have all my guys at together with me for the first time in 4 years. (Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!) *happy dance*

    Michael (my husband/Mr. Darcy) and I just finished reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Highly recommended.

    What's happening in your life?

    Winter wonderland

    It's been snowing for 12 hours...that's 12 hours of snow on top of 3 feet of snow we aleady have outside our door! It's up to our windowsills now, and the forecast is for 10 more days of snow. Michael's tractor & snowblower took one look and refused to move. He had to dig it out just to get it back into the shop! So we are royally snowed in! We hope that the gentleman whose name was recommended to us will be able to get here with his plow and rescue us later this afternoon. Michael estimates that he'll have to snowblow twice a day after we're plowed out just to keep up. Not that I wouldn't love an excuse not to go to work and stay warm & cozy in our office here at home and write. Hmmm...10 days of snow, hot cocoa, and writing Young Master Darcy. Sounds pretty good! 

    So, you may wonder, what about power? Well, we did have an outage this morning, but we were back up in 2 hours. Not so for many in Spokane, from the news report. We did have to go out and clear the satellite dishes, 1 for internet and 1 for TV. After all, Mansfield Park is on tonight and that can NOT be missed!

    So, until next time when we've dug out from what is now about 4 feet of snow, thus endeth the blog...

    How utterly delightful, almost as though our dear Jane has come back to life! The trilogy was superb. Thank you for giving me something new to read that at least felt like an Austen novel. I am in awe of your talent. Judy

    Dear Ms. Aidan,(This is the rest of the post that did not make it into my previous post)You have done a terrific job filling in the blanks about Darcy and how he moved from being a man who could not be tempted to one who ardently loved Elizabeth, a proud man who was nevertheless willing to acknowldg

    Dear Ms. Aidan,I found your Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy in our local library. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it because of the reference to Lady Sylvanie on the back of the second book. I was afraid that you might be going off in a very un-Austen direction. Finally, I read the first book

    Dear Pamela, To this day, I wonder if the folks on the subway are still talking about the girl with her nose in that book, the one who didn't look up until it was time to get off the train, and who was back the very next afternoon with yet another book (because it took me roughly a few days to get f

    (cont.) Then comes a recommendation of your novels. I immediately fell in love with your writing style, so similar to Jane Austen's, your selective use of the discourse from her novel, your brilliant addition of viable situations that could have happened and characters that could have lurked behind
  • frosty049
    I just finished 3 splendid days and 3 rather sleepless nights reading your wonderful books! I was enchanted! I absolutely adore Jane Austen and about a year ago I attempted a Pride and Prejudice sequel, from Mr. Darcy's perspective, which ended up being more than disappointing. I had to read P&am

    I, too, am eagerly awaiting the return of Dy Brougham. What a great character! I'm dying to see how things will turn out between him and Georgiana Darcy. Are there any updates on the progress of the sequels to Fitzwilliam Darcy Gentleman series? I loved the trilogy...and I don't mean to understat

    I am longing to see Dy Brougham! Please bring him back! I have read the trilogy at least 5 times! I can't get enough of it! I have been impatiently waiting for a sequal for over a year now. :o) It looks like you have a lot of pots in the fire. I hope to see your new release soon. LB

    @JeanTre16 - Hi, saw your comment.  I started reading through some of the other posts on here after I made my comment.  From what I read, it looks as though books 4 and 5 are coming out this year.  I check in from time to time to see if there are any updates, but it looks as though Ms Aidan has not

    Ditto melissab13's comment (Nov 28)! I loved your Mr. Darcy's POV in your trilogy. I, too, would love to see your continuation of Dy Brougham's story. I've written several novel length fan fiction stories for a TV series, so I can appreciate the process. Congratulations on your success!
