Welcome to the website of Susan Kaye, writer of Austen-based fan fiction making use of the great characters of Persuasion. Here will will find a listing of all my stories available online, free for the reading. Also visit my page dedicated to the series, Frederick Wentworth, Captain; a two-volume series is the story of Jane Austen's Persuasion told from Captain Frederick  Wentworth's point of view.


 

Plymouth was my first fan fiction story. After reading Persuasion, all I could wonder what was, "what did he do those three days?" Here's what I came up with.
A Brother Is Born For Adversity is the story of Wentworth's six weeks in Shropshire with his brother. Edward Wentworth was out of Frederick's life until their parents died when he was 12. Edward returned to save Sophia and Frederick from uncertainty, at the cost of his own independence. Twenty years later, Frederick seeks refuge with Edward, the rector of his own parish, and a newlywed. With his brother happy and his own future out of his hands, Frederick learns some valuable lessons about life and love..
For You Alone is a first person accounting of Frederick Wentworth's ten-day campaign to make things right with Anne Elliot.
The Knowledge of His Being There is a series of vignettes leading up to the wedding day of Captain Frederick Wentworth and Anne Elliot.

The Villain's Part is a stand alone short story involving William Walter Elliot, Anne Wentworth and a family memento.

If I Had Then Written is also a stand alone, apistolary. How might things have things been different if Wentworth had written Anne just after being promoted to the Laconia?

Love Suffer Long and Is Kind is an alternate Persuasion piece, co-written with my good friend, Laura Louisa, in which Frederick Wentworth marries Louisa Musgrove and Anne Elliot marries James Benwick. Decide for yourself if this pairing might not be to your liking.

When you finish LSL, you will want to immediately start reading Laura Louise's, Mercy's Embrace, which follows Elizabeth Elliot into the marriage market.
