Sorry for this extremely late response Joanna. I've only just found your comment. No, I never get tired of Jane Austen and have read her books time and again. I think I have Pride and Prejudice off by heart! I used to live in Bath, in Brock Street, between the Royal Crescent and The Circus. A perfect spot, and found by fluke back in the 1980s. Had some great parties there. Persuasion is also an excellent story, more mature I think, more layered. Jane Austen remains the ultimate role model for me as a writer.

I see you've given Jane Austen's Persuasion a five star review. This was my set book for English Literature 'O' level so always loved it. Plus it was set in Bath and Lyme Regis, one is the place I live, the other somewhere I've day tripped and stayed over - love the Dorset Coast. I may get Persuasion out and dust it off and read for old times sake, don't think you ever get tired of Jane Austen!

Thank you for Friending me. How's your own writing going?"

Hi Zoe, (love that name BTW!) Writing is on the backburner while I do my day job today. Then it's an edit ready for a free promo on 20/21st July and paperback coming out for Twisted Vine. Then a holiday but I'll take the laptop so I can edit my next offering, Daffodils. Then, come the autumn I'm planning to continue first draft of No. 3. Can't wait! I'm missing it! Selling your work isn't nearly as much fun as creating it.
How about you?
