Yours Affectionately, Jane Austen

by Sally Smith O'Rourke

Overview

Was Mr. Darcy real? Is time travel really possible? For pragmatic Manhattan artist Eliza Knight the answer to both questions is absolutely, Yes! And Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley Farms, Virginia is the reason why!

His tale of love and romance in Regency England leaves Eliza in no doubt that Fitz Darcy is the embodiment of Jane Austen�s legendary hero. And she�s falling in love with him. But can the man who loved the inimitable Jane Austen ever love average, ordinary Eliza Knight?

Eliza�s doubts grow, perhaps out of proportion, when things start to happen in the quiet hamlet of Chawton, England; events that could change everything. Will the beloved author become the wedge that divides Fitz and Eliza or the tie that binds them?

About the Author

�Where shall I begin? Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?� (J.A. June 15, 1808)
That I reside in a small Victorian village in southern California; a mere two miles from my place of employment, a local hospital where I spend most daylight hours in the operating room as a scrub nurse.
That I am a native Californian, having been born in Glendale, and spent most of my life here with a relatively short span of years in Reno, Nevada where I attended school. Returning after graduation I have remained in sunny SoCal.
That I was widowed some time ago. That I have very domestic hobbies like sewing, cooking, baking, candy making and cake decorating. Oh, I write, too. Mike, my late husband and teacher, taught me that writing has to be treated like a job so every day no matter how tired I am I edit, research and write one or more projects.
That I have completed my first solo effort Yours Affectionately, Jane Austen; available now at most on-line retailers. That I have started a story of reincarnation taking place in Pasadena, CA and am making notes for a ghost story set in San Francisco. Two stories running around in my head and often colliding but I untangle the debris and continue on.
And so you have a few of my nothings.

Editorial Reviews

I was completely engrossed. The personal side of Jane Austen was eye opening. I felt I was sitting by the fire listening to Aunt Jane telling a story. It was heaven. Sally did a wonderful job making her Darcy so much like Jane's Darcy but with his own little quirks and modern tendencies. I'm very excited that I got to review this book when I did because this year is the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice. I will be rereading Jane's book in honor of that and I highly recommend Sally's book.

Yours Affectionately, Jane Austen is a sweet Austen related romance with a time travel twist.
I felt the author captured Jane Austen's voice very well and I enjoyed reading her thoughts and reactions as the story flowed.
I enjoyed the idea that Jane Austen wrote Darcy a letter and he receives it, two centuries later, and from his current love interest.
I wondered how it would all end, and this one has a bittersweet ending, and I was satisfied with it. I was left with a *sigh*.
