Me and Steampunk Darcy First of all, many thanks to Jane Odiwe for having me on her wonderful blog.

Project Darcy on Kindle and a New Passion!

I'm very excited to announce that Project Darcy is now available on Kindle, here in the UK , the US , Canada ,  France , Germany ,  Italy    Brazil , Mexico , Spain , Japan , and India !

She’s always had a talent for ‘seeing’ into the past and is not easily disturbed by her encounters with ‘Mr Darcy’s ghost’ at the house where she’s staying.
