This sequel to "Assumed Engagement," a variation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," follows Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy after their wedding. When they return to Pemberley after their wedding journey to Paris, they begin their lives anew. Darcy works to get the school for the deaf started and Elizabeth learns her role as Mistress of Pemberley. Kitty visits Pemberley as Georgiana's guest, and the two grow in their friendship while searching for love. This sequel also addresses the issue of how it came to be that Darcy visited Ramsgate in time to rescue Georgiana from Wickham's clutches.
Kara Louise is the author of several books based on Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice including "Darcy's Voyage," which was released in Sept. 2010, and "Only Mr. Darcy Will Do" which was released in March, 2011, both published by Sourcebooks. She currently has 4 other self-published novels.
Kara Louise grew up in the San Fernando Valley, just north of Los Angeles. She is the middle of three sisters, all of whom lean to the creative arts - singing, art, and writing (each has her own expertise!). She is married and has one grown, married son. She and her family moved to Kansas from Los Angeles in 1991. When she arrived, she felt like she was on a nice, long, relaxing vacation. It was a far cry from the fast paced life-style in LA -- and she loved it. She and her husband currently live out in the country on 10 acres and are entertained by a dog, 6 cats, 3 horses, and 2 goats. She works in publications at her church where her husband is one of the pastors. She began writing in 2000, first, with an inspired story from her geneology that she was researching. But that took a back seat when she discovered the writings of Jane Austen, in particular, her novel "Pride and Prejudice." She began writing stories to answer the "what happened next" and the "what ifs" in Elizabeth's and Darcy's story. She has written 6 novels based on "Pride and Prejudice," but one of these days she is determined to finish that novel based on her geneology, which started it all.
