“Winter Comes to Pemberley,” published earlier this year, continues to sell well (mainly people read it online). It rates a 4.2 / 5 on Amazon and there is one very detailed (and positive) review. The book is set a decade after “Pride and Prejudice” and centers on Georgiana Darcy and Catherine (Kitty) Bennet as they each navigate their way through the marriage maze.

Just published is “Sanditon Completed.” “Sanditon” is the title given to Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel. Austen began the manuscript in January 1817. She had been ill for some time but was beginning to feel better. Sadly, on March 18, she put the manuscript aside because she was again unwell. Exactly four months later, Jane died.

It has always been assumed that Austen abandoned her manuscript, but what if she actually dictated the rest of her novel to her sister, Cassandra? A discovery in the National Archives (London) of ‘The Cassandra Notebook,’ appears to confirm that she did so. However, questions are then raised as to whether this Notebook, found in the Archives, is genuine or a modern forgery. So… two stories in one: the ending of “Sanditon” and the mystery of whether or not it was written by Jane and Cassandra or is a fake.

I am sure that you will enjoy both of these novels. Please check them out on Amazon.com.

My next project is a Study Guide to “Philosophical Fragment” and “Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragment” by the nineteenth-century philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard. This will probably be my last ‘big’ writing project. It is something I have wanted to do for the last 50 years!
