And the winners are...Maria Grazia and Laura Hartness. I'll be emailing you as well. Congratulations, ladies. Hope you enjoy the stories!
I have a few review copies of Intimations of Austen, my collection of Austen-inspired short stories, left from the last shipment and and I thought I would offer two up this week in a giveaway. You can consider it an early Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwansaa present, or you can pass it along to a Janeite on your list.
This is especially designed for those of you who are getting a little bored (dare I say it) with Pride and Prejudice and want to venture into Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Somehow I never wrote a short story around Sense and Sensibility or Emma--in the case of the latter, it might be because Queen Emma always insists on having full-length novels rather than short stories if she is to serve as inspiration. DISCLAIMER: I don't mean to imply that P&P doesn't get its due in Intimations...four of the nine stories are P&P-inspired, but that's less than 50%, for crying out loud!
If you would like to be entered in a drawing for one of two copies that I will draw for on Sunday, November 22:
1) Leave me a comment on this posting for one entry
2) Become a follower for two entries
3) Tweet about this giveaway for three entries
***Be sure to provide me with your email address so that I can let you know if/when you've won.

I'd love to win this collection of short stories for two main reasons: I like Jane Austen novels and I like ...you! You are one of my favourite bloggers, Jane! So I'm sure I'll love reading your Austen based fiction.

Took a peek over at Amazon and enjoyed it immensely. If I don't win a copy than I'll definitely buy one for myself. I'm also going to become a follower of your blog.
