GIVEAWAY: 2 signed copies of Intimations of Austen by Jane Greensmith




Intimations of Austen
by Jane Greensmith

from the back cover:

Anyone who has ever been captured by the stories of Jane Austen, England's most beloved writer, knows that her characters truly have a life of their own.

In this collection of nine short stories, Jane Greensmith tells her favorite Austen backstories, sequels and what-ifs in her own succinct yet poetic style.

What if Fitzwilliam Darcy suffered from synesthesia?  How did Henry Tilney overcome the coldness and controld of his father?  When did Fanny Price finally destroy the demons of jealousy and self-doubt that threaten her marriage to Edmund Bertram?  What if Darcy made a promise that his honor will not let him break?  What if Charles Bingley wasn't the first man Jane Bennet ever loved?

Greensmith provides  sympathetic insights into characters you love to hate. Her what-if  stories are realistic, true to Austen’s characters, and delightful to  sink your teeth into. And always, Greensmith, Romantic that she is,  calls forth the power and beauty of the natural world to heal, bless,  and nurture the wounded, the misunderstood, the lonely, and the confused  on their journeys through life.


Want to find out the answers to these questions for yourself?  Just fill out this form and you could win one of two signed copies from Jane herself!  But act quick -- this is one of the few contests that DOES NOT run through the month.  Contest ends on the summer solstice per Jane's request, so you have until June 20th, since the winner will be announced on June 21st!
INTERNATIONAL!
