Much Ado in Meryton Giveaways for January 2022

After successfully publishing three mystery-themed stories in Miss Mary Investigates series (The Mystery of the Missing Heiress, Death of a Clergyman and Death in Highbury), Riana Everly has returned to her roots which is mashing up Jane Austen's most popular masterpiece with an equally famous play. Her debut novel, Teaching Eliza is a George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion set in the world of Pride and Prejudice. This time around she has combined the themes from Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare and the plot of Pride and Prejudice again to create Much Ado in Meryton.

If you are familiar with the English playwright's comedic play, you will know that Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a merry war of words until they are tricked to confess their love for the other. Likewise Darcy and Elizabeth take on their roles of bantering and trading barbs on each occasion. When Elizabeth has to live in Netherfield with Mr Darcy also staying as a guest, their continuous squabbles disturb the tranquility of the inhabitants. So their friends and family concoct a plan to put an end to their quarrel. Will the machination work or backfire against them?

Fans of Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Riana's books would not wish to miss the ongoing virtual tour. You will definitely be entertained by the exquisite excerpts, guest posts, character interviews and more when you head to the blogs below. On top of that the author is gifting five e-books of Much Ado in Meryton throughout the tour to lucky participants who fill up the Rafflecopter form.

This is her maiden visit to My Love for Jane Austen so let's give a warm welcome to her. Don't miss the chance to win one of the many prizes sponsored by the author. Guest Post Thanks, Lúthien84, for having me as your guest today, on the blog tour for my newest book, The Darcy Legacy . I have often wondered how Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's courtship would have evolved, were it not for that ill-judged and so ungentlemanlike ' She is tolerable, I suppose... ' This is an angle I explored in The Darcy Legacy . What if their acquaintance did not start on the wrong foot? What if Mr Darcy did not hurt Elizabeth's feelings and her pride at the Meryton assembly — and if he did blunder, it was in a way that she co...

Enjoy the excerpt from Chapter Two of Julie Klassen's eight Regency romance novel. Then check out the details of the giveaway at the bottom of the post which include the author's books and two Jane Austen-related items. Excerpt Abigail and her father rode with the somber solicitor in a well-sprung post chaise hired for the occasion. They travelled for most of the day, on turnpikes and through toll gates, stopping to change horses and postilion riders at regular intervals, or to take a hurried meal at a coaching inn. Finally, they reached western Berkshire, its rolling hills and woodlands giving way to farms and chalk downs near its border with Wiltshire. They passed through the village of Caldwell, with a fine church, cloth mill and the Black Swan, which Mr. Arbeau pointed out as the nearest inn where they might sleep until they deemed the manor house...

Happy weekend, friends! How has your week been? I hope you will have enough rest and relaxation before you begin the next week. It is with sheer delight that My Love for Jane Austen welcomes fairly newcomer Mirta Ines Trupp to join us today.
