I had never really intended to write a Regency-era Persuasion story, short or long, so I cannot easily explain why this idea came to me. (I hear this is a common problem among writers!) But my mind likes to play tricks on me and give me plot bunnies for other stories based on completely different novels.

Some of you may know that I am in the midst of writing a Pride and Prejudice variation called Disappearing Act. Happy July, friends! I’m offering a story I had hoped to share in June, when the theme was “Blossoming Love.” Needless to say, I proved once again my immunity to deadlines! So here I am, in July, with a short story I had not really meant to write.
