Hieronymus
by Nic Ularu"HIERONYMUS" is a fiction novel about the life and work of the iconic painter Hieronymus Bosch, which preserves the historical context of the dark end of the Middle Ages in Northern Europe.

Some documented facts of Bosch's life are mentio... moreDarcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
by Alice McVeighThis is a fresh "take" on Austen's immortal PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. So it's still, as the coffee mug puts it, "Darcy is too proud. Elizabeth Bennet doesn't like him.

Other major differences: though Mary Bennet's private papers, we get her own doomed efforts to interest Mr Collins, and through flash... moreThis Time Could Be Different
