Notice: There is one scene of violence (a flogging) and another of implied violence that may cause discomfort for some readers. Readers rate In Plain Sight Five Stars A Kindle Customer in Australia says Brilliant! This is, undoubtedly, one of the best I have read in this genre. In fact, there is only one other that I hold in such high esteem. The story gripped me from Page 1: I felt as if someone had reached into my chest and gripped my heart. No relief until the final words. HW in the United Kingdom calls In Plain Sight Extraordinary A high-octane ride into the very souls of ODC in a quite unique fashion, this tale works on so many levels, firstly as a rollicking tale of dire circumstances and dread intrigue, then as a redemption story (my favourite genre of all) and last but not least as a love story for all ages. Bravo Sir! Huffer finds the book Powerful The idea is truly original and imaginative, one that I've never encountered The story grabs you from the start, and never lets up. The book is populated with many characters that you can care about, which is one of the hallmarks of an enjoyable story.

I wanted to read slowly so as to make sure that I not miss anything that he was describing.

A Holiday Anthology Don Jacobson is a masterful storyteller whose work shines through well-crafted prose and deep, introspective characterization, both of ODC and everyone else. Holiday Visions really showcases all of this through a variety of short works.

Christmas is not for the future except that what is done this year will be cherished by posterity. Pride and Prejudice's Bennets and Darcys find the strength to gather their families and create new memories for the next generation.

"I see Tomkins is breaking the same news to his wife. "Although, Will, I think 'stranded' implies distress. On the contrary, we are warm and in happy company." The Longbourn Letter Mary had walked through the valley. She had seen the death of innocents and heard the sorrow of the bereaved. Mary had reached out to them to be a conduit for His Goodness. And through that, she discovered the glory in the smile of a child made happy by quiet words or the look of warmth in the rheumy eyes of an old cottager granted the simple courtesy of hot tea in a clean cup. At this very moment, her heart could be no fuller. Twelfth Night at Madras House No Pain. Only the joy in Love's discovery Twelfth Night Proposals Her face, rosy in the room's firelight, was turned down to his. Her eyes slowly opened as she beheld her world. The golden-brown pools glistened with hope and joy. Twelfth Night with Prometheus William was the rock, though, to which Elizabeth had clung. As galvanism had animated Frankenstein's creation, so did Darcy's unwavering love, akin to Volta's energy, raise new life in her battered heart. A Thornhill Christmas Christmas is a thousand different memories, each held dear by those we love-and even those we have never met. Christmas is not for the future except that what we do in this time will be cherished by posterity. Perhaps together, we might find the strength to join our family below and create new memories for the next generation.

Love Burns Brightest in Dark Times In this moving tale, our favorite characters from Pride and Prejudice face the prospect of an awful death. This compels them to confront troubling scenes from their past. The author crafts a beautifully told story of self-examination and reflection while embracing compassion and understanding under trying circumstances. - Jennifer Redlarczyk, author of Darcy's Melody For all their riches, the Darcys and Bingleys could not escape epidemic's dark hand. Netherfield is reduced to rubble. Refugees flood the roads. A feared illness sickens and kills. Anyone who could flee did. The only sanctuary is Longbourn, where, once there, all were barred from leaving by a fortnight's quarantine. Forced into each other's company, Darcy and Elizabeth set aside pride and abandoned old prejudices to face their grief. Together, they forge ahead, knowing that love unexplored is love lost: that words must be said lest they remain unspoken in the time of smallpox. Readers rate The Longbourn Quarantine 5-Stars CEK calls the novella "Beautifully Written" Deeply felt and beautifully expressed story of a multitude of human conditions. The basic cast of characters are gathered at Longbourn in quarantine a few months after Bingley and Darcy abandon Netherfield. In a crucible of understanding, friendship, grief, fear, honesty, sorrow, romance, and passion, we view the growth of their spirits and minds. The author is an amazing writer and treats us to an emotionally charged experience. Sarah B. feels The Longbourn Quarantine is Well-Written, Thoughtful, Realistic, Romantic This is a new-to-me author and from the first page, I was hooked on the story. The writing is fabulous, poetic even; another reviewer described it as "lyrical" and I find that a very apt description. Often I find in JAFF that either the characters overshadow the plot or vice versa, but that was not the case here. I loved seeing how both h/H acted in their forced close proximity, and how Darcy changed his opinion of the Bennet family. I enjoyed the introspection on behalf of ODC; there was just enough of it, and it fit the style of Austen's original. The pacing of the characters' growth (all characters, not just ODC) felt realistic and was enjoyable to watch. Marie labels The Longbourn Quarantine Nicely Done! During a smallpox outbreak, the Darcys and the Bingleys are forced to isolate themselves at Longbourn with the Bennet family. This time of quarantine affords the occupants an opportunity to examine relationships and past misunderstandings. This time period of quarantine also provides a time for self-examination. I particularly enjoyed Mrs. Bennet's portrayal as the good matriarch I favour, rather than the usual flighty, nervous Mrs. Bennet we so often see portrayed. I also appreciated the way Wickham's role in the story was written. Elizabeth's reflections about Darcy holding back his emotions were spot on.

Joana Starnes, author of Twists of Fate says of The Pilgrim: Lydia Bennet and a Soldier's Portion Oh, my goodness: such a wonderful work of art! This installment of the Bennet Wardrobe series has so much emotion and growth. What a Lydia and what a path: it is filled with heartbreak for her and others. But the beautiful and uplifting ending poured peace and happiness into the soul. Travel from 1815 to 1940 Love's wounds define Lydia Wickham's life in this here/now. As a young girl barely out, Lydia Bennet never wondered about the quality of a man's character, only how well he filled out his regimentals. That willful ignorance almost led to the destruction of the Longbourn family and set her on a long journey through the Wardrobe-where she learns grief, purpose, and love. Lydia Wickham finds that bravery and honor grow not from the color of the uniform-or the gender of the wearer-but rather the contents of the heart. She ultimately wins a transcendent love to fill her heart and paint the world in brilliant hues.

Don Jacobson returns with another detailed and riveting installment in his Wardrobe series and this time, we discover that the girl everyone called "The silliest girl in England" has more spine and heart than anyone expected. She rides thrilling heights and then fights through heart-wrenching lows, and through it all, the reader experiences life in all its grit and reality. This is no frothy read. You will sink your teeth into it and come away a richer and wiser human for having read it. &&&& Julia M. rates it "Tissue-worthy" This is such a wonderful book. So very moving. It is incredible how much pain Lydia endured especially in her younger years with very small intervals of happiness until I assume her marriage to the General. I say assume because not much is said regarding that marriage in this book. I could not stop crying almost throughout this book. &&&& For Lisa, the lead character and story are complex I find sometimes when a story is too emotional that I take longer to get through it and must allow myself time to reset. This book needed two breaks to allow me to be able to continue, but worth the dedication. Lydia is such a complex and constantly evolving character in this story. She is a surprise, with a life that is only hinted at in previous books in this series. &&&& Mirta Ines Trupp, author of The Meyersons of Meryton labels The Pilgrim "Well-crafted" Multifaceted and nuanced, The Pilgrim: Lydia Bennet and a Soldier's Portion speaks to the realities of life. Once again, Don Jacobson has combined the essence of Pride and Prejudice with an esoteric storyline and the universal themes of redemption and forgiveness in this well-crafted narrative.

Before she stands aside, she has something important to accomplish, and in doing so, she answers many mysteries for us. Sophia-Elizabeth calls The Countess Visits Longbourn "Another masterpiece to the puzzle which is the Wardrobe series." Much laughter and yet sadness was presented in this book, as many of the characters from earlier books had begun their next great adventure. A new sense of Lydia, as a grown-up and sensible woman started to emerge, which I find to my liking, as it would be another character who Don would make me like for the first time. I do suggest a handkerchief for the ending though, since I did cry a bit as it was tragic and yet sweet in its own way.

Readers enthuse about Volume Four of the Bennet Wardrobe Series! Susan Andrews awards Five Stars to Lizzy Bennet Meets the Countess. Don Jacobson winds another clever tale as Lizzy Bennet has her turn in the Bennet Wardrobe. Lizzy has her time travel experience as a young girl, and her fine eyes fairly crackle with precocious intellect. The wonders of the future are engraved this time in a child's hazy mind. But have no fear, Wardrobe readers, Lizzy's memories of the future will influence the creative artistry of her generation just as other Bennet trips have done before. But the early conversations with young Lizzy are worth the read all on their own. She is just the Lizzy she should be, and I suspect many readers will love this story for the chance to spend time with the ten-year-old prodigy as much as anything else in the story. Lizzy's grown-up tale is a satisfying story and will not disappoint.Naturally, Lizzy and her Darcy find themselves in proximity to some of the great minds of their era. Jacobson has his usual historian's fun intertwining the Bennets with historical figures. (The characterization of Byron as a spoiled brat is priceless.) Highly recommend. Teresita García Ruy Sanchez calls Lizzy Bennet Meets the Countess "Imaginative and Enthralling." This series gets better with each new book. I enjoyed this volume: the characters and the story's development. The description of Lizzy's intelligence and capacity is endearing, and how the countess and father protect her from her accidental traveling is interesting.

We learn about Lizzy's short visit and the connection she and Darcy will have with Lord Byron, Shelly, and Mary Shelly (author of Frankenstein).

Pease reviews the third volume in the Wardrobe series: The moment of this series so far that stays with my heart is when Kitty and Lydia have a conversation as Kitty steps into her future. Many scenes remain in our heads, but I felt so much for them both that it imprinted on my heart. I disliked the hurt she had to suffer when she was waiting for Henry to get done with his showing off, but I loved that it felt like there was real love in her story, as so many series and books pass over her as a coatrack...so to speak.
