For the past few months, I’ve been sharing excerpts of The Secrets of Pemberley. Today is, finally, launch day! The story is told entirely from Darcy’s point of view so I decided to make some outtakes for my blog tour. Even as the writer, there were times when I wish I had access to Elizabeth’s point of view. Elizabeth keeps a diary in the story which becomes important and that inspired the idea of conveying her thoughts via diary for these outtakes. As a long time fan of Lizzie Bennet Diaries, I couldn’t resist trying my own hand at making a video diary for Elizabeth Bennet.
This entry is after Darcy’s disastrous Hunsford proposal and then after reading a very different letter from the gentleman.
If you prefer to read the diary entries rather than watch my videos, you can access them through this link.
Blurb:
To the world, Fitzwilliam Darcy has it all. He’s the young master to one of the kingdom’s oldest and wealthiest Norman families. Through his mother, he is related to a powerful line of earls. Beneath the perfect façade lies the truth: he’s the product of his mother’s affair and the heir George Darcy never wanted.
At twenty-eight, Darcy has fought hard to put to rest the pains of the past and earn his place in Society. But can he resist the allure of ending his loneliness with the unsuitable woman who has tugged at his heartstrings? Will he tell her his secret and if he does, will she keep it? Or will someone else from the past destroy everything Darcy has worked for?
Prepare for another page-gripping read from Rose Fairbanks as she unfolds a Darcy and Elizabeth story unlike you have ever read before. For the first time ever, Ms. Fairbanks is offering a new novel release in Kindle Unlimited. Buy or download today!
The Secrets of Pemberley is now available on Amazon via Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. The print copy should be live in a few days. At this time, The Secrets of Pemberley is not available at other vendors but might be available in a few months.
I enjoyed this book and actually read it twice (once as a WIP and then when published on KU). The diary entries were a bonus to what we read from Darcy’s POV. Well done.
I’m pleased you enjoyed it so much!
That was well done indeed! I’m looking forward to reading this! Thank you!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy!
I loved reading Elizabeth’s diary and noticing a change of heart. Thanks for tagging us along
I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Sounds like a good read! Can’t wait to get it!
Thanks! I think you’ll love it!
Loved the videos of Elizabeth’s diary entries. Cannot wait to read your new book. Was delivered today!
Thanks! I think you’ll love it!
Lizzy Rose, your diaries were just too awesome! You are the best and you should definitely do more diary posts. Great addition to you story. Congratulations! Jen Red
Thanks! I hope to do a few more diary videos but I’ve also typed them out for D&L.
I love the diary entries from Elizabeth’s POV, Rose. I’m eager to learn how their story unfolds differently from canon. A beautiful cover btw.
Thanks! Although Darcy has a very different back story, it doesn’t start off too differently from Canon. Once he proposes, Canon flies out the window though!
Thanks for sharing her diary entries with us. It was nice to see how her feelings changed between the two entries.
Yeah, that should be a big clue that his letter is very different than Canon. She starts to feel differently about him a lot faster. She also sees him again far sooner than in Canon so that helps. 🙂
This is going to be good! Thanks for sharing the excerpt
Thanks! I think you’ll love it!
