Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales. At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents!
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out.
In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters. Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Sweet Extras
|
The house party was his idea. Falling in love was not.
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam's name was not on the guest list for the house party. There was no need to put his name on it. After all, he was already there, he had come up with the idea, and, most importantly, he was not looking for a wife. Of course, one does not have to be looking for love to find it.
Mary Bennet scowls at Richard incessantly, argues with him at every turn, and would rather that he stayed far away from her. And yet, he comes to realize that he can't imagine his future as happy without her.
But how does a gentleman go from the object of a lady's disdain to the man she longs to marry? With any luck, the colonel will bumble his way into happily arguing with Mary forever.
Arguing with Mary is the third novelette in Leenie Brown's Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to With Quill and Ink. If you like short and sweet reads that slip easily into the cracks of life, then you will enjoy this Pride and Prejudice inspired romance about two people who seem to be enemies discovering that they are much better together than are apart.
