A Jane Austen Daydream, my latest novel, will be released by Madison Street Publishing on April 30!
I could not be happier (or prouder) of this experimental, romantic, funny, moving, and surprising book. I look forward to sharing it with you.
Here is the description of my upcoming novel:
All her heroines find love in the end–but is there love waiting for Jane?
Jane Austen spends her days writing and matchmaking in the small countryside village of Steventon, until a ball at Godmersham Park propels her into a new world where she yearns for a romance of her own. But whether her heart will settle on a young lawyer, a clever Reverend, a wealthy childhood friend, or a mysterious stranger is anyone’s guess.
Written in the style of Jane herself, this novel ponders the question faced by many devoted readers over the years–did she ever find love? Weaving fact with fiction, it re-imagines her life, using her own stories to fill in the gaps left by history and showing that all of us–to a greater or lesser degree–are head over heels for Jane.
On a side note, are you a reviewer? Would you be interested in reading the novel for your site or magazine? If so, please contact my publisher at MStPublishing@gmail.com. They will be reviewing requests.
Let the countdown begin!

Scott,
I am SO looking forward to this book … it’s just downright intriguing, the idea of your writing in her style, not to mention whether or not you think Jane found love.
Presently, I’m in the middle of My Problem With Doors and thoroughly enjoying it.
Love love love this blog and just realized I am hooked. (Clever you, eh?)
