Impertinent Strangers 
 
When an impertinent stranger is thrown into Fitzwilliam Darcy's path, he declares her tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt him. Yet, it is all he can do not to think of her. 
 
Upon first making Mr. Darcy's acquaintance, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is quite fascinated with him. Then she discovers that the gentleman is haughty and above his company, and she wants nothing to do with him. Still, the prospect of spending time in each other's company is beyond their power to resist. Will Darcy and Elizabeth stop denying the truth to themselves and find in the other what's been missing in their lives? 
 
Praise for Impertinent Strangers: 
 
❝This variation was indeed different and fun to read. The things that happened - happened in opposite order of what usually happens in other variations. Very different and uniquely wonderful!❞ 
 
❝There is a beautiful reunion between the pair at Longbourn. Darcy's spoken word is sweet, romantic, and passionate. And his proposal is truly romantic! A great read overall.❞ 
 
 
Together in Perfect Felicity 
 
Miss Elizabeth Bennet believes the state of matrimony is not something to be entered into lightly. She is determined to do anything rather than marry without affection. On the other hand, indulging her cousin's fanciful marital scheme is harmless enough. What does she have to lose? Other than perhaps, her heart? 
 
Fitzwilliam Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by Elizabeth. Owing to the inferiority of her circumstances in comparison to his own, he makes up his mind to admire her from afar. The mind, however, does not always rule, especially in the game of love. Will Darcy lose his heart to Elizabeth, and in so doing, end up winning hers? 
 
 
Praise for Together in Perfect Felicity: 
 
❝I read this delightful story in a single evening and enjoyed every moment. It is wonderful how the original text and occurrences from P&P were weaves into this novel.❞ 
 
❝Different story. I liked it a lot. Highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fanfic reader.❞ 
 
 
Bonus Novelette - A Night with Mr. Darcy to Remember 
 
A titillating tale of two strangers in the night. Because now and then, a short and steamy romantic escape with our dear couple is what you're searching for. 
 
 
Praise for A Night with Mr. Darcy to Remember: 
 
❝The backstory was gripping, tugging severely on my heartstrings. The story had depth and thoughtfulness, in the short span of a novelette, which amazed me. It felt like nothing I have ever read before.❞ 
 
❝Very romantic and suggestive without graphic details. Loved Darcy!❞

    “Describes a life that explores, in ways that only fine fiction can, the differences between myth and illusion, between real psychic gifts and false ones.”—The Denver PostThis American Book Award Winner follows the story of the young Mei-li Murrow who is dubbed “Madame Psyche” after she accidentally predicts the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Although she wins fame and fortune, Mei-li seeks a truer spirituality, and embarks on a pilgrimage that takes her to the death-soaked Europe of the First World War, to a utopian commune in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the 1920s, to the Depression-era migrant work camps and cannery strikes, and finally to the Napa State Hospital, where she finds wisdom and peace among the outcasts of the asylum. Mei-li’s modern-day epic is grounded in the history of Northern California in the first half of the twentieth century and peopled by comrades of many classes and cultures and by lovers both male and female. Yet her central odyssey remains one of inner discovery. In Confessions of Madame Psyche, Dorothy Bryant has created a character who is so honest in her search for truth, growth, and spiritual understanding that this quest becomes inherent to her survival.“Breathtaking and heartbreaking . . . It is in the specifics of time and place that Bryant roots the book’s magic. It is in her characterizations that the magic convinces . . . A beautiful story has, very simply, told itself.”—The Denver Post “Fascinating and beautiful.”—Ursula K. LeGuin “Intricate, appealing [and] profound.”—Women’s Review of Books

    The Lancashire Witches is a fictitious account of the activities of the notorious witches Demdike, Chattox and Alice Nutter, who together with others terrorized the district of Lancashire around Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland during the early seventeenth century. The witches named in the book were real enough, if not as witches then as people. The author brings in the dissolution of Whalley Abbey and the historic families of Assheton, Braddyll and Nowell and depicts the final trial and execution at Lancaster Castle in 1612.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
An impossible choice.  An endless feast of talents.  Within these 10 stories are all the glory, the ambition and talent of authors that are now known and beloved by us all.  Genius in every name.
