PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN THREE FORMATS: Kindle e-Book; Standard Print; and Large Print. IN ORDER TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT PRINT COPY, PLEASE CLICK ON THE TINY BLUE LINE THAT SAYS "See all 3 formats and editions". This will take you to another page. You will see TWO entries: KINDLE and PAPERBACK. There is a tiny karat mark in front of the word PAPERBACK. Click on the karat, and you should get a drop-down that lists the Standard Print and (underneath it) the LARGE PRINT. After doing all that, THANK YOU for purchasing my book. I agree that this is incredibly wonky, and I have asked Amazon to do something about it to make it more user-friendly. Amazon is incredibly responsive, and I'm sure they will get to it as soon as they can -- but, there is a lot going on with their publishing arm right now, so it may take them...awhile. I appreciate your understanding and patience. VANITY AND VENGEANCE begins ten years after Pride and Prejudice ended: Darcy and Elizabeth are happily married, but Georgiana (his beautiful and wealthy younger sister) does not seem interested in marriage; Lady Catherine's daughter Anne has completely given up on her romantic hopes; and, Elizabeth's sister Jane (happily married to Charles Bingley) has adopted an orphaned child. It is Georgiana's interest in a poor and unpredictable young man, and the interest she arouses in a wealthy older man, that drives the story forward. Along the way, the Darcys encounter a vengeful Frenchman, family members both deceitful and loyal, and one very determined horse. The story is told with a nod and a smile, extracting lines and situations from Pride and Prejudice and reimagining them in a slightly different context. Those who have never read the original will not find themselves baffled, but those who have read Pride and Prejudice will recognize the references and appreciate the additional layer of insider's humor. Why is VANITY AND VENGEANCE worthy of your attention? That is such a hard question. All I can say is, I liked the heroines, I despised the villain, and I couldn't wait for Wickham to get the crap kicked out of him (well, that's a modern description of what happened - the writing of the book channels Miss Austen and does not use that kind of language). Why did I write it? That is a much easier question to answer: My mother asked me to. (She wanted to know what happened to Darcy's little sister, Georgiana.)
