LYDIA BENNET'S BLOG - the real story of Pride and Prejudice
'Clueless' in corsets, Adrian Mole in a bonnet, shameless baggage Lydia tells her hilarious side of the story!
Available on Kindle and now available for most eReaders worldwide, including Nook, Kobo, Scribd, Inktera and from Apple iBooks US & UK.

Find out what really happened behind the scenes in Pride and Prejudice as Lydia schemes to save herself and her clueless family from a cash-free future, and to get her man, the supremely sexy bad boy Wickham. By an odd quirk of history, Lydia’s generation use our teen-speak, though with Regency derivations. Whether you love or loathe Jane Austen or just like a good laugh, you’ll enjoy Lydia’s conniving, eavesdropping, Mr Collins-outing, Pa-baiting, shamelessly flirtatious and outrageous adventures.
PRAISE FOR LYDIA BENNET'S BLOG:
'I've been reading LYDIA while having my chemo this afternoon. I laughed out loud.
Several times - while HAVING CHEMO!!! It's brilliant. Such a clever idea and so
engagingly written. This could be a really big book.'
Linda Gillard, best-selling author
of 'House of Silence' and many more.

‘I was alternately laughing out loud and gasping at the sheer, bold brilliance of it. I loved it for its irreverence, its humour, its intelligence and its energy. Prepare to be amused, entertained, and dazzled. A very good read indeed.' Catherine Czerkawska, award-winning novelist and
playwright for stage and BBC Radio 4.
 

'It’s actually really, really funny. … It’s got a clever literary game going on, and it’s more than just updating it to teenspeak… there’s something almost steampunky going on here… See for yourself!’ Paul Magrs, novelist (including Dr Who novels)
