Launch and Giveaway of Mr. Darcy Bites Back by Mary Simonsen

Thank you for joining me for the launch of the sequel to Mr. Darcy’s Bite which is very cleverly titled Mr. Darcy Bites Back, A Novella.

At the conclusion of Mr. Darcy Bites, we found Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam enjoying their old age at Pemberley. I decided to back the story up so that we can see our beloved couple in the first year of their marriage. Because Darcy is a werewolf and Elizabeth is a human, there are complications. (Of course, there are complications.) But in this case, the threats come from outside the walls of Pemberley.

From the back jacket:

As Mr. and Mrs. Darcy approach the first anniversary of their marriage, they look upon their life together very much as an idyll. With one exception. Their lives will always be ruled by the lunar cycle as the Master of Pemberley is a werewolf.

As Darcy prepares his wolf pack for nightfall, an unsettling rumor is being spread in the village that a phantom Ghost Buck has appeared in Wentside Woods on the Darcy estate. Because Darcy does not believe the stag exists, he wants to know who started the rumor—and why. Is it possible that someone has learned of his darkest secret and is trying to draw him out?

To celebrate the launch, I am giving away two e-book copies of  Mr. Darcy Bites Back on either Kindle or Nook. If you would like to enter the giveaway,  please leave a comment. Even if you don’t want a free e-book, please leave a comment. The winner will be announced on November 26 when the sky will feature a very nearly full moon. A paperback will be available sometime after Thanksgiving.

If you can’t wait, the novella is now available for $2.99 on Nook or Kindle.

P.S.  Sourcebooks has Mr. Darcy’s Bite on sale for $1.99 on Nook and Kindle for the month of November only!

      I agree with you, I have an e-reader but never really use it. Paper books are much better in my opinion. :razz:

  • SuzeJA says:

    Hi, I am reading your book now with my friend we are having fun. I have already got the kindle addition so i could continue reading when i am finished with the first.

  • The idea of Mr. Darcy as a werewolf defending his turf is delicious!!! I’m looking forward to reading this sequel. My question is–will there be any cat fights between Elizabeth and some furry female? I’m in a the mood to read that!

    Oh, may I say here that you’re my HERO, Mary! I want to grow up and be like you!

  • Susan says:

    I am anxious to meet Mr. Darcy the
    Werewolf!

  • Mary Simonsen says:

    Hello everyone–again. I am running back and forth from the computer to my living room where I’m putting up the Christmas tree. We usually do this the day after Thanksgiving, but my daughter is working and asked that I do it early. I’m not sure this is a good idea. My two-year-old grandson will be here all day on Thanksgiving with the tree up. Hmmmm. To say nothing of the cat!

    Thank you to all who have entered the giveaway or who have stopped by for a visit. It is really appreciated. Mary

    Good luck with the new book Mary. Would love a copy of Mr Darcy Bites Back on my Kindle. B

  • Janet T says:

    Congratulations on the launch, Mary. I will love reading about their first year together as werewolf and wife. I enjoyed the first book and was impressed with your accuracy of wolves in general. (I have had a fascination with them for years. I raised two white wolves from infancy. They had a small percentage of dog in them but came from a long line of domesticated wolves. They were exceptional. I had them both for over twelve years and still miss them terribly. ) Sorry, I digress! I look forward to reading your new book!

    • Mary Simonsen says:

      There are four wolves at a safari park in the Verde Valley in AZ. I watched them play for about an hour. Could have stayed all day. I envy you your experience.

  • Lynn Bischoff says:

    Really enjoyed Mr Darcy’s Bite. Can’t wait to read Mr Darcy Bites Back.

  • Denise says:

    I can’t wait until Winter Break to have time to read the two in the series. I love the supernatural combo.
