About the Book:
In this humorous, topsy-turvy Pride & Prejudice variation, all the gender
roles are reversed. It is Mr. Bennet’s greatest wish to see his five sons
advantageously married. When the haughty Miss Elizabeth Darcy comes to
Netherfield with the Widow Devonport nee Bingley, speculation—and
prejudice—runs rampant.
William Bennet, a
reluctant and irreverent future reverend, catches Miss Darcy’s eye even though
he is beneath her station. However, his opinion of her was fixed when she
slighted him at the Meryton Assembly. As her ardour grows, so does his disdain,
and when she fully expects to receive an offer of marriage, he gives her
something else entirely ….

About
the Author:
J. Marie Croft, a Nova
Scotia resident and avid reader all her life, discovered Jane Austen's works
later than others but made up for lost time by devouring the six novels and as
many adaptations and sequels as she could find. In the midst of reading
prodigious amounts of Austen-based fan-fiction, she realized, "Hey, I can
do that." In her spare time, when not working at a music school or on a
wooded trail enjoying her geocaching hobby, she listens to the voices in her
head and captures their thoughts and words in writing. Her stories are
light-hearted; and her motto is Miss Austen's own quote, "Let other pens
dwell on guilt and misery." J. Marie Croft is a member of the Jane Austen
Society of North America (Canada)
and admits to being "excessively
attentive" to the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. She can be
