Project Darcy - Blog Tour!

It's my Official Book Launch of Project Darcy tomorrow, November 5th, over at Laurel Ann Nattress's blog Austenprose so please check back then to read an exclusive excerpt from Project Darcy, and to see what we have on offer in the way of prizes and treats. I do hope you'll join me tomorrow for my very special day!
As you all know, Project Darcy is a novel inspired by Jane Austen's wonderful book, Pride and Prejudice, and as this is a very special year, celebrating 200 years, I thought you might like to have a chance of owning a collector's copy!
My first introduction to Jane Austen was through the film starring Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier, many years ago, so I think it's very fitting that this little illustrated movie book should be my first prize.




Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
   However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
   "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"
   Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
   "But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."
   Mr. Bennet made no answer.
   "Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.
   "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."


Also on offer is one of my packs of six greetings cards, three of Steventon Rectory, three of Christmas at Steventon!

If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning this vintage book with a pack of Jane Austen Christmas cards, please leave a comment below. Names will be drawn from a hat - closing date for this competition is Sunday, 10th November - winner announced on Monday 11th November!
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for more goodies here and on Austenprose!
