The title says it all for me. I have often felt sad that Austen only made a pittance while she lived Her family published her last 2 books and the rewritten Lady Susan also. I think Austen would have wanted her mother and sister to have some gain from her work. She never knew what the world thought of her and still thinks of her. Mr. Ford did a great job and I’m glad he’s kept “Our Jane” alive and getting even. I look forward to Jane Goes Batty and the promised third sequel.

And I guess I’m just one of the many folks who can’t get enough Austen. I read the first two chapters and was very surprised, as you mentioned, by the first bite! But the writing is good, and I definitely think the plotline is different.

Is it frustrating to see so many writers cashing in on the whole “vampire” trend? Maybe a bit. But this one is obviously tongue-in-cheek… and I love the idea of Jane still here, watching as countless readers are introduced to her work!

Lizzie Bennet expressed her opinions decidedly and we welcome the same, as long as it is civil, which you are. Thanks for your complement on the blog. As far as the influx of Austen and zombies and vampires, try to take it as a joke that will soon be out of fashion. Jane Austen had quite a wicked sense of humor and would probably laugh, cry and then want a share of the pecuniary emolument! Thanks for your comments.

Cheers, LA
