Lovely beginning, with an out-of-canon-character Mrs. Bennet who seems to have had an epiphany with Mr. Bennet's death. Have enjoyed all your stories and I am sure this one will be as good as the others, even without AI assistance. Please write faster.

Yeah, this was a fragment that niggled its way into something bigger. Nothing will happen until I get Sailor's Rest well-launched.

I agree with your thoughts on AI as a writer, as we discussed at the last WIP reading. In your excerpt, I love that Mrs. Bennet is not a cartoon, and am really looking forward to reading this. I will be on vacation soon, and have been saving the Wardrobe series to enjoy while I am lounging around. I probably won't finish completely, but I should make a decent dent. Thanks for the posting.

Thank you for your notes. I am an advocate of transparency, so I would happily argue that if AI is used, it should be noted on the cover/ebook listing.

I have a Christmas story in front of this one, but I would love to have it out in late 2023/early 2024. More of a novella/short novel, I think, but we will see.
