Jane Austen Giveaway Hop

Hello!

Welcome to my stop on the Jane Austen Giveaway Hop!  I am excited to participate and am giving away a copy of my Jane Austen-inspired novel AUSTENTATIOUS.  Here’s a quick blurb:

While browsing in an Austin shop, Nicola James finds a blank vintage journal hidden among a set of Jane Austen novels. Even though Nic is a straight-laced engineer, she’s still a sucker for anything Austen-esque. But her enthusiasm turns to disbelief once she starts writing in the journal – because somehow, it’s writing her back…Itching for a bit of excitement, Nic decides to follow her “Fairy Jane’s” advice. The result: a red-hot romance with a sexy Scottish musician who charms his way into Nic’s heart in about five seconds flat. But a guy like Sean doesn’t exactly fit into her Life Plan. With no one but Fairy Jane to guide her, Nic must choose between the life she thought she wanted – and the kind of happy ending she never saw coming…

I love the idea of Jane showing up (in spirit) in Austin, TX to offer unsolicited romantic advice to modern day women.  And the novel has been well-received by readers and reviewers alike…

“Goodnight’s breezy style with a believable heroine, lively conflicts and lots of best-friend confidences elevates this above the usual chick lit fare.” ~ Publishers Weekly

“This humorous romance will appeal to all Austen fans while bringing a fresh twist with its magic journal.” ~ Booklist

“Janeites and chick lit fans alike will enjoy this wonderful romp into modern day romance with the ideal Miss Matchmaker from the past leading the way.” ~ Courtney Webb for New York Journal of Books

 

AUSTENTATIOUS has been out since January, and its sort-of sequel, AUSTENSIBLY ORDINARY, will be out January 29, 2013, two hundred years and ONE DAY after the original publication of Pride and Prejudice!!  I am giving away a copy of AUSTENTATIOUS, and Stiletto Storytime is giving away an ARC of AUSTENSIBLY ORDINARY, so don’t forget to stop by there as well!

Can You Guess How Many?

One of my tasks this week as a volunteer in the library at my son’s junior high was to count mellowcreme pumpkins and candy corn to go into a plastic gallon-sized paint tin. I ran out of candy before it filled up. Any guesses how many pieces of Halloween candy goodness are in there? The student who guesses the closest without going over wins it all!

In other news, I am off on a Girls Trip the DAY AFTER TOMORROW!! I am so excited!! I checked out the audiobook of One For the Money by Janet Evanovich for the drive. And, I’m packing my Alphasmart and hoping to get some writing and brainstorming done, but I don’t really have high hopes. And that’s just fine.
