  • Kitty Bennet moodboard

    Alright this isn’t like a typical moodboard since I suck at technology, but just pictures I found that fit her aesthetic. Enjoy!

  • Excerpt

    I think someone once said in the many Pride and Prejudice discussion boards I perused that Kitty is an introvert trying to copy an extrovert, ie. her sister and mother, and that’s the interpretation I carried through in my own novel.

  • Main Characters of Featuring Kitty Bennet

    Obviously Kitty Bennet is the lead, but in the supporting section are the two potential romantic options, Frederick Tilney and Jaimie Morland; finally, best friend, Julia Bertram. You may recognize these names not from P&P, but from other Austen works. Specifically Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. All were tertiary characters in their respective books, so…

  • Featuring Kitty Bennet

    I mentioned previously that I finished writing my novel and might start posting excerpts, photo boards, and other stuff if readers wanted. I didn’t get any comments saying yes or no, but I’ve decided to go ahead anyway. Featuring Kitty Bennet is set in modern day after contemporary events of P&P, featuring characters from various…
