Mozart Horn Concerto No. 4 on the Natural Horn

I have been enjoying this month of learning about various instruments that were around during the Regency period and that Georgiana might have at least heard in her fictional lifetime. 🙂 For our last installment of music lessons pulled from Georgiana’s Music Folder, we have the natural horn and a concerto from Mozart. The first video tells a bit about how the horn is played, and the second video has the concerto without interruptions for instruction.

I have never had Georgiana play the horn in a story, nor do I currently have any plans for her to play one. It just doesn’t seem like her sort of instrument. However, I could possibly see her cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam playing it. It sounds like him to me. What do you think?

Below is an excerpt from a story where Georgiana does not play a lead role, but she does play a major supporting role. The in this scene from Christmas in Gracechurch Street, Darcy is once again shopping with his sister, and she is hinting/teasing that she thinks he is more than just friends with Miss Elizabeth.

A Winter Story (Brian Crain cover by Yiruma)

Welcome to a brand new week. Shall we start it with some relaxing piano music and a quote from a story?

How does a fellow tell his pretty new friend that he would like to be more than just friends? That’s the colonel’s dilemma in Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary. He’s quite smitten with his new friend, as you might be able to tell from the quote below.



Moonlight, Mistletoe, and Mary is a novelette-length sequel to Matching Mr. Darcy. It can be purchased at your favourite retailer or downloaded as part of the welcome library when you subscribe to my mailing list.

The Saturday Broadsheet (July 2020)

Hello. I hope your summer (or winter, depending on location) is going well and that you are all staying safe and well. My husband and I have started taking some Saturday drives to various places as we like to do during the summer. The photo is of him walking down one of the boardwalks at Lawrencetown beach last weekend. You’ll notice he’s not wearing very summery clothing. 🙂

We had some nice cool days, and it was actually almost cold at the beach that evening. Today, however, has been a very different sort of day. It was HOT. A trip to the beach would have been refreshing, but sadly it was a workday for us. 

But enough of that. Let’s get on with all the writing, publishing, and book news you have opened this blog post to find. 🙂 

Writing News

Since I the last time I updated you on my writing, I have written a couple more chapters of Her Convenient Forever, and I have done a bit of planning and plotting on a new Sweet Possibilities story while contemplating how the short story sequel to Matching Mr. Darcy is going to go. Both of these stories will be set at Christmas time.

Here’s how the prologue Sweet Possibilities 2, which sets up why Elizabeth and Mary are at the Gardiners for this story, begins:
