New book in 2025: The Making of Lady Catherine de Bourgh
New book in 2025: The Making of Lady Catherine de Bourgh

I'm so excited to announce my second novel, releasing this spring, which is entitled "The Making of Lady Catherine de Bourgh."


This book has been a labor of love, written over the last two years.


Check out the blurb and stay tuned for more details in the comings weeks, including a cover reveal, a release date, AND pre-order going live! I can't wait to share Lady Catherine's story with you.


Book Description:


Rigid to a fault, Lady Catherine Fitzwilliam has her future all planned and is eager to begin her new life as a married woman. One short week changes everything, including the betrayal of one close to her. Being sensible, expertly behaved, and managing her exacting expectations has gotten her nowhere. She is ready to determine her own future—perhaps even acting against the caution that has guided her throughout life.


A match borne from ignorance threatens to bring scandal upon Catherine, and one reckless act binds her to a prospect she could never have predicted. Will Catherine save her reputation and still find herself a husband?


Half villain-origin story, half coming of age, this tale transports readers to a consequential precipice in Catherine’s life. One where she discovers her voice and begins to understand the needs of her own heart—and how fragile that heart may be—transforming her into the antagonist readers know and loathe in Jane Austen’s cherished Pride and Prejudice.
