Author C P Odom is releasing his third novel, Pride, Prejudice, and Secrets, with Meyrton Press. To kick off Pride, Prejudice, and Secrets' launch, we have put together a diverting blog tour filled with guest posts, exclusive excerpts, an author interview, and giveaways!!
“Seldom, very seldom, does
complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that
something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.”
Jane
Austen
It is always the completely unforeseen events that lead to the most
unexpected consequences, and such is the case in this variation on Jane
Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. One of the crucial points in Austen’s novel is
Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s fiery and passionate refusal and denunciation of the
equally passionate but infinitely more repressed Fitzwilliam Darcy. What might
eventuate if the robustly healthy Elizabeth falls prey to illness for almost
the first time in her life just when Darcy comes to call? Bemused by her
illness, she hardly comprehends what Darcy is asking, and her simple nod of
acknowledgment is misinterpreted as acceptance of his suit by a joyous Darcy.
By the time Elizabeth regains her health, it seems that every one of her
acquaintance and many outside of it accept that she has become engaged to the
last man in the world she would ever have considered marrying. Can she openly
demand her engagement to the amorous but prideful Darcy be broken, a course
fraught with hazards in the social milieu of Regency England? In a maelstrom of
confusion, choices have to be made and disclosures closely considered.
Elizabeth knows that nothing in her life will ever be the same, and the
consequences will likely spread further than she can imagine.

ReplyDeleteyay! I love Colin's stories. So few men write Austenesque and I love that the ones I have read so far are SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteDo we have a publication date yet? I agree with Monica that the men that write Pride and Prejudice variations are awesome. I'm aware of Jack Caldwell, Stan Hurd, and Colin. Are there more that I need to be aware of?
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to read this one in particular.
It should be published any day now, Joy. That is all I know at this point. :)
DeleteI am looking forward to reading Stan Hurd's books.
Thanks for stopping by!

Am I the only one not able to find an excerpt for this book at "Everything Books & Authors" ? The most recent review that I can find there is from Jan. 8.

Well that explains it! I thought the review would be on the day of the blog tour stop, whereas she had reviewed it a week earlier.
DeleteThanks, Jakki, for the link.
