Brief Author Bio: I am your original home-town girl. I am the oldest of 7 children and love it! I love being with children and have a job as a nanny. My brother joined the army this year and is currently in basic! GO ARMY!! Anyway, my best inspirations for writing generally come at about 1 in the morning, which makes it a little hard to sleep!! :) Or when I am playing the piano... But I sometimes succomb to writer's block... and then I get nowhere fast! My favorite Disney Princess is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. And I love the original fairy tale even better than the movie. I am such a purist! My favorite version of Pride & Prejudice is the A&E/BBC version - the 5 hour long one! YEAH!! |

Synopsis: Becoming Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jane is everything her hero is not. Elizabeth Bennett, was bold, self-confident, & always knew what to say. Elizabeth Jane is quiet, a little shy, and can become intimidated by people. However, she dreams of being the "ideal" girl and having that special someone. Will Mr. Darcy ever show up, or does he just exist in her imagination? After landing the role of a lifetime, Elizabeth gets the opportunity to play her hero on stage. Is Mr. Darcy HER Mr. Darcy? Or is there someone else who watches from the wings, quiet and unseen?
Excerpt: Becoming Elizabeth
He leaned in close and whisper her name. She swallowed. "Yes?" she breathed. "Do you have any idea how absouletly beautiful you are? I cannot get you out of my mind." He swallowed, then continued. "You and you alone are the one who makes my world go around." She slowly blinked and gazed into his eyes. Eyes that she could drown in. Eyes that spoke volumes. "I have often wanted to tell you all that is on my heart." He leaned in close to kiss her. Her heart accelerated as she leaned into his embrace. There was a swelling of music, beautiful background music. The music continued to get louder and louder. Suddenly, the music changed tone.
Lizzy sat up suddenly. Her radio was playing. She had fallen asleep at her computer. Again. Her dorm room was quiet. No one was around. Her paper still wasn't done, and it was due today.
