Ever had an obsession? Maybe chocolate is something you can’t refuse or you have a growing collection of acorn people. Or perhaps, like the author
Enid Wilson, you are obsessed with Mr. Darcy.
You may remember that Enid came to visit us a little over a year ago. Her topic? Yeah, it was Mr. Darcy, specifically,
The Hunt of Steamy Darcy. When I heard that she had written another escapade with Mr. Darcy in the lead, I asked her if she’d tell us about her obsession with the man and maybe a bit about her latest book,
Fire and Cross.
Enid Wilson hails from Australia, but is known world-wide for her cross-genre stories and books involving Mr. Darcy and Ms. Bennett. On
her website, she serializes stories and lets her readers help her with plots and twists – sort of interactive writing.
So come back tomorrow to learn about her obsession with Mr. Darcy – and to find out how to throw your name in the hat for a gift AND a pdf of
Fire and Cross!
I'll be sure to check back in...I've always been a fan of Mr. D. :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that Mr. Darcy is possibly more famous and popular than he was when Pride and Prejudice first came out.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of serializing the stories and bringing the reader in on the process in interactive writing. It seems like a really effective way to engage the readers in the finished product, especially if they feel like they've had a hand in its creation.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Joanne. And a lot of people offering suggestions can activate your own mind into creating new ideas, side tracks and characters.
ReplyDeleteYou have to admire Enid for your passion for her writing. Interactive writing sounds interesting. I have trouble working with myself let alone other people so I may not be very good at this.
ReplyDeleteObsessions? Hmm. Maybe music and books.
ReplyDeleteWhile I enjoyed reading Pride and Prejudice I've never had an obsession with him. I do like to revisit the story once in awhile.
I like how she's gone back to the old fashion serial stories.
Hope all is well in your world Helen.
You made me laugh, Stephen!
ReplyDeleteSia, things are going well ... although I'm not sad to see this year go by. It is ending in a good way, though. My daughter is coming home for Christmas and my son will be here as well. Yay!
I prefer Ms Bennett.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the stuff Enid is writing, and will be back tomorrow, for sure >:)
Cold As Heaven
Gotta love Darcy! *grin*
ReplyDeleteI'm probably going to get some flak for this this, but Darcy never did it for me. Not at all.
ReplyDelete**Ducking!**
But hey, it looks like Enid likes to put a lot of steamy romance in her Darcy stories, and it's hard to argue with that!
That's true, Christina. She does supply the steam. On a lot of her stuff, she adds an adult rating. Not all of it, though. There's something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt's too cold here to remove my hat and toss it in the ring, but the book does sound like a good read. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, Elizabeth, Joanne, Stephen, Sia, Cold, Miriam, Christina and Jean. I went to sleep and woke up to so many encouraging comments. I hope you all like the guest post and join in to win the gift. Yes, I quite enjoy serialising my stories. That's why I probably can't go down the traditional publishing route. So are you planning a big feast with your children?
ReplyDeleteAcorn people? How did you know?! ;-) This sounds absolutely wonderful and I will definitely be back to check out Ms. Wilson's post.
ReplyDeleteMention Mr. Darcy and I'm there.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Kimberly, what an addiction. Thanks Susan and Alex, hope to see you come back.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I'll be back to read the next installment.
ReplyDeleteSee everyone tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Slamdunk. You've an interesting avator.
