I am writing another book right now, of course Pride and Prejudice, called A Fortuitous Fall.

It is about William Collins, idiot clergyman, cracking his head and waking up changed for the better.

Yesterday morning, my wonderful husband threw out an idea for another book and I thought about it and my brain got excited so I've been thinking about an entirely new book while, yes, I am partway through another book.

Which is complicated. I have written multiple Star Wars stories at once so it can be done, but I am also thinking wow, really, Laraba?  REALLY?

Anyway, the plot will peripherally touch on the slavery in the Regency England period.  Turns out that slavery wasn't eradicated in the British Empire until the 1830's!

Indeed, it seems there were slaves in London, England during that period.  Maybe?  Not many, certainly, but still, one is too many.

Of course, I am an American and we have our own horrific history of slavery, and it took a major war to end it here. In England, William Wilberforce and his cohorts managed to get the slave trade banned in around 1808, and then slavery eradicated in the 1830's, which is awesome.  

I try to get inside my characters's heads. What would Elizabeth and Darcy think of slavery?  I hope they would be disgusted.  I intend to write them that way.
