Description

Jann Rowland Jann Rowland is a Canadian. He enjoys reading and sports, and he also dabbles a little in music, taking pleasure in singing and playing the piano. Though Jann did not start writing until his mid-twenties, writing has grown from a hobby to an all-consuming passion. His interest in Jane Austen stems from his university days when he took a class in which Pride and Prejudice was required reading. However, his first love is fantasy fiction, which he hopes to pursue writing in the future. He now lives in Alberta with his wife of more than twenty years and his three children. Lelia Eye Lelia Eye is an Arkansas native. She loves reading and misses the days when she was able to be a part of the community theater group in her hometown. Lelia has enjoyed writing since she won a short story contest in the sixth grade. She graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a Master's degree in English. It was while she was obtaining her undergraduate degree at Hendrix College that she took a Jane Austen class which sparked her interest in Pride and Prejudice. She now lives in Conway, Arkansas, with her husband, her daughter, and a houseful of pets.

Features & Highlights

  • Reader Feedback: "This variation is so compelling. Everything is twisted around so that many roles are reversed or at least greatly altered. But in spite of that the writing seems true to the style of Jane Austen." "Clean, fun, engaging, and generally well written (especially compared to a lot of JAFF)." "I loved it, so good!" ***** When a chance remark from Mr. Darcy causes Mr. Bingley to rethink which Bennet daughter he wishes to pursue, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself the focus of Mr. Bingley’s attentions. Though her dearest sister encourages her to allow herself to determine her feelings for the man, Elizabeth finds her eye caught by the more reserved Mr. Darcy. But these are not the only suitors for Elizabeth’s hand, as Mr. Wickham and Mr. Collins also prove themselves determined to draw her attention. Though Elizabeth would never have imagined that she would be the focus of such attention, she finds herself forced to choose from among a bevy of suitors . . . .

One judgy comment from Darcy changed Bingleys best intentions

Loved this! Beautifully written, and a lovely story. Such a mix up from (most) of the characters. An interesting look into- what would have happened if...
E would probably not have spent so much time really getting to know Bingley if J hadn't encouraged her. It was nice to see a softer side of E due to being singled out to quickly as a beautiful and desirable catch!
D almost had a back seat through more than half of this story, but watch out when he is ready to make his move!
