Cousins, One and All by Ronnda Eileen Henry

“Cousins, One and All” is also included as an extra novella in the award-winning romance collection “The Flowers of Penruddock” by Ronnda Eileen Henry.

“Cousins, One and All” was selected as a Medalist in the 2018 Florida Authors and Publishers Association Annual Presidents Book Awards in the Short Fiction category.

“Cousins, One and All” is a mashup between Jane Austen fan fiction based on characters in “Pride and Prejudice” but with an alternate storyline focused on the next generation, and the fantasy worlds from Ronnda Eileen Henry’s romance novella “Love in Two Acts” and Aleksandra Layland’s epic fantasy Windflower Saga trilogy.

The sons of Mr. Wickham and Col Fitzwilliam join the daughters of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and Mr. Collins for a two-week holiday in the Lake District of northern England. During the second week, two of them (Ben Wickham and Lottie Darcy) disappear for three days. When they return, they explain their absence as due to a fall into a ravine while they were out hiking and being picked up by a gypsy and taken to his camp some distance away to recover. That is as far from the truth as it could be, but the truth is utterly unbelievable… that is, except to logical, sensible Cat Collins who is in love with Ben but has never told him.

The five cousins will never forget the year they went on holiday together, and if you’re a Jane Austen fan who can enjoy a little time travel fantasy mixed in, neither will you.
