My Love for Jane Austen

Although author Robin Helm had taken part in a blog tour for More to Love back in February when her novel was just published, it was rather short with only three stops. This time around she has sign up for a two-week tour with Celebrate Lit which connects Christian authors with readers. There will be one or two visits per day with an introductory guest post from Robin and honest reviews from the participating bloggers. Besides this four presents are offered by the author to encourage interested readers to give this novel a try. The grand prize is an Amazon gift card worth US$25 while the remaining prizes are autographed paperback editions of A Very Austen Valentine and More to Love each and winner's choice of any three e-books written by Robin Helm.

If you prefer to read a Pride and Prejudice romance mystery, you can't go wrong with The Mist of Her Memory released by Meryton Press just last month. The fourth novel length book written by Suzan Lauder who also penned Alias Thomas Bennet , Letter From Ramsgate and A Most Handsome Gentleman with the same publisher, the plot diverges from canon when our favourite heroine is attacked in Lambton while on tour with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner.

It is understandable that Austenesque fiction published these days tend to be based on Pride and Prejudice as it is the most popular and profitable venture among Jane Austen's oeuvre. But there are some authors who have tried their hand in penning stories inspired by Persuasion , Sense and Sensibility , Emma , Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey . One such person is Allie Cresswell who recently released her third and final book in the Highbury trilogy.

Organised by Poetic Book Tours , there will be several excerpts, guest posts and reviews to look forward to. In addition ...
