    Vintage urn by Douglas Gorsline

    "One may be continually abusive without saying anything just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty."

    Elizabeth Bennet,
    Pride and Prejudice, Ch 40

    Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, by Laurie Viera Rigler  (2009)

    RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A
    JANE AUSTEN ADDICT

    by Laurie Viera Rigler

    In this parallel story to Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, Regency gentleman's daughter Jane Mansfield is mysterious tranported into the body and technology infused world of 21st-century singleton Courney Stone. What will she think of modern lexicon and our confusing morality? How shall she get back to her past, or does she even want to?

    Love, Lies and Lizzie, by Rosie Rishton

    LOVE, LIES and LIZZIE
    by Rosie Rushton

    In this Young Adult Novel, Pride and Prejudice is retold with a contemporary twist. Teenage Lizzie Bennet and sisters are still hunting for beaus, but with all of the advantages of modern technology: mobile phones, laptop computers and blackberries. Rushton has been faithful to the original storyline, cleverly transferring the machinations of Regency courtship into the traumas of 21st-century teenage search for romance. Great summer reading!

    The Private Diary of Mr. Darcy: A Novel, by Maya Slater (2009)

    THE PRIVATE DIARY
    OF MR. DARCY:
    A NOVEL

    by Maya Slater

    Literature’s most famous romantic hero opens his diary: it’s intimate, dramatic, deeply passionate, and sometimes downright shocking. My favorite Austen sequel of 2007, this new US edition is sure rankle the ire of a few purist, but I think he is the Darcy you should get to know.

    What Would Jane Austen Do?, by Laurie Brown

    WHAT WOULD
    JANE AUSTEN DO?
    by Laurie Brown

    Contemporary heroine Eleanor Pottinger is haunted by ghosts and strikes a bargain with them to time travel back to 1814 to thwart a deadly duel in exchange for meeting her favorite author Jane Austen. Notorious rake Lord Shermont thinks she is the Napoleanic spy, but romances her anyway. Challenged by Regency times, Eleanor keeps herself in line by asking what would Jane Austen do?
