A Bouquet of Bennets is a five book series in which each of the Bennet sisters marries William Collins for different reasons. Each book is a stand-alone novel, the first being the story of least regarded Bennet, Mary. When William Collins visits Longbourn, he is immediately drawn to Miss Mary Bennet, despite Mrs. Bennet’s determination that he will wed Elizabeth. As in canon, Bingley leases Netherfield, bringing his family and Darcy into Hertfordshire. Unlike canon, it is through Mary and Jane Bennet that Darcy discovers how poorly he has behaved and it is at the urging of Colonel ...

A Bouquet of Bennets is a five book series in which each of the Bennet sisters marries Mr. Collins for different reasons. Each book is a stand-alone novel, and in this, the second book of the series, the Bennet sister featured is Jane. (The first being the story of least regarded Bennet, Mary.) Mr. Thomas Bennet, seeking easy riches and a way to dower his daughters and fund his lifestyle without all the work involved in managing an estate has placed his estate and his family in a precarious position by going into more debt than he can repay. Unlike in canon, the heir to Longbourn is Mr. ...

While still in mourning for his beloved wife Francis, Thomas Bennet is compromised. Forced to marry a woman he cannot esteem, Mr. Bennet worries over the safety and the upbringing of his cherished daughters from his first marriage. Determined that his second wife will not be allowed to treat his girls poorly, Mr. Bennet arrives at the Gardiner home in London with Jane, Elizabeth and newborn Mary. Their lives take a very different path from canon in this clean, low angst retelling of Pride and Prejudice.

In this low angst, a sweet retelling of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bennet is not just idle, he is actively cruel. And Mrs. Bennet, while still uneducated, must do whatever she can to protect her daughters from their father. Mr. Darcy’s epiphany comes much earlier than in canon and it changes his relationships not only with the Bennets but with his sister, his cousin Anne, and Bingley. When the Bennet matriarch moves to an estate outside of Bath with her daughters, Bingley follows and so do both Darcy siblings.

After the death of her spouse, the Dowager Duchess of Felton takes up residence in her property, Netherfield Park. Having met the Bennets on her previous visit to the estate, Lady Felton decides that taking an interest in Mr. Bennet's older daughters will help give her some purpose and distraction from her personal grief.

What if there were no entail? When Mr. Bennet dies, the Bennet ladies are given a new home at their Uncle Gardiner’s estate, Netherfield Park. When Mr. Bingley looks to lease an estate close to London, Longbourn seems the perfect solution. And he brings with him his best friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, along with Miss Bingley, Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, retired Col. Fitzwilliam, and the longtime mentor of Darcy and Fitzwilliam, Mr. Wickham. Lady Anne Darcy, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and other family members plot against our favorite couple. Will they succeed in their efforts to compromise Miss Darcy?

What if Mrs. Bennet is a well-educated tradesman’s daughter, Mr. Collins takes his parish duties seriously and Mr. Bennet overcomes his laziness? A clean reimagining of P&P, focusing on the gentlemen of our story.

The fast-paced conclusion to Netherfield's Duchess takes our beloved characters from Hertfordshire to Scotland, from Derbyshire to Kent to London, as our couples are forced to deal with plotting Lady Catherine and Wickham.

Then I hired my third editor/proofreader, Harold Winberg, who translated technical instruction manuals into six languages. I knew he would pay close attention to details and not change, or distort the message. To understand one’s psyche, as a trained psychologist I know, you have to start at the true beginning. You can’t just jump into London 1888 during the Jack the Ripper murders and begin chapter 1 there because it’s thrilling, at first glance he would appear a deranged psychopath, at the least.
