Jane Austen, the holiday season, and gifts go so well together that I am pleased to share the news that Austenesque author Syrie James is going on a holiday blog tour with her new novel Jane Austen’s First Love.
Readers will remember that Austenprose is a big fan of Syrie’s work and have reviewed many of her books here including:
- Jane Austen’s First Love: A Novel
- The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen
- The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte
- The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen
In celebration of the holiday season and the release of Jane Austen’s First Love there will be over 40 stops on the virtual blog tour featuring an assortment of fun, including interviews with Syrie, excerpts from the novel, reviews, spotlights, and unique guest post by Syrie on a variety of topics–such as the true story of the remarkable Edward Taylor (who stole Jane’s heart), Jane at fifteen, wacky parlor games in the Georgian era, the research for and challenges of writing Jane Austen’s First Love.
