Jane Odiwe Jane Austen Sequels

As I'm sure you know by now the very lovely Laurel Ann Nattress of Austenprose   has a book coming out in October!

It's a bit scary because you have to wait and see what the person before you is tweeting about, so you can carry on your part of the tale, but it is great fun.
