Think of my newly published short story, The Incomplete Education of Fitzwilliam Darcy, as a prequel of sorts to A Will of Iron, Longbourn to London, The Red Chrysanthemum, and even Pride and Prejudice itself! This new story is included in the just-debuted Sun-Kissed: Effusions of Summer antholgy, published by Meryton Press. Reading my story will get you all warmed up for A Will of Iron, my new novel! http://www.amazon.com/dp/1936009447
It's Here: A Will of Iron by Linda Beutler
The untimely death of Anne de Bourgh, only days after his disastrous proposal at the Hunsford parsonage, draws Fitzwilliam Darcy and his cousin Colonel Alexander Fitzwilliam back to Rosings Park before Elizabeth Bennet has left the neighborhood. In death, Anne is revealed as having lived a rich life of the mind, plotting rather constantly to escape her loathsome mother, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Anne's journal, spirited into the hands of Charlotte Collins and Elizabeth, holds Anne's candid observations on life and her family. It also explains her final quirky means of outwitting her mother. Anne's Last Will and Testament, with its peculiar bequests, upheaves every relationship amongst the Bennets, Darcys, Fitzwilliams, Collinses, and even the Bingleys! Was Anne de Bourgh a shrewder judge of character than Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy combined?
A Will of Iron is in the editing phase now, and we hope to release it in late May or early June, 2015.
