Headstrong Girls by Debra Anne Watson, June Williams, Enid Wilson

Headstrong Girls
A bit of mystery, a bit of love,
all inspired by Jane Austen
by Debra Anne Watson, June Williams, and Enid Wilson

Book Excerpt | Enid's Website
Published: 2013
Publisher: CreateSpace
Genre: Jane Austen, Short Stories
Paperback: 252 pages

In Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet's relationship with the wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy suffers misunderstanding, heated argument, and family interference on the way to love. Darcy's opinionated aunt, Lady Catherine, demands that Elizabeth give up Darcy, and calls Elizabeth headstrong for failing to keep to her lower social sphere.

Elizabeth is headstrong -- determined, stubborn, fiery, strong-willed, adventurous, yet sensitive to others. This is what readers love about her and what inspires the creation of this book.

Headstrong Girls has seven short stories and a short film script: Who is in the secret passage at Pemberley? Did Lizzy Bennet commit murder? What is mailroom-clerk Lizzy hiding from CEO Darcy? Who is creating havoc on a South African wildlife preserve?

With a little mystery and a little romance, across the Regency, fantasy, and modern genres, the book takes Jane Austen's characters to wonderful new adventures. May headstrong girls find their hearts' desire!
