I was so sad to see Lord Harold killed off, but he's right - how could Jane have achieved her greatness otherwise? I have really been enjoying your books. I am a huge Jane Austen fan and somewhat of a purist but I must say these have definitely captured my imagination. One of my favorite things is the quantity of notes giving historical facts and information. I spend a lot of time looking up the old estates online, the political people who play parts in the stories, and pictures of the places Jane goes. I have a hunch that Jane Austen herself would approve your books and enjoy reading them!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912763920509735337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731753818569067213.post-55014287422454397082015-12-20T14:25:58.597-08:002015-12-20T14:25:58.597-08:00Am I the only man to read this wonderful series of...Am I the only man to read this wonderful series of stories?

Most men I think would never have realized this, much less admitted it. It shows he recognized her true worth.

Delightful torture. <br><br>My only wish in life is for you to write a Lord Harold novel starting with his India adventures with Jane Austen's distant relation (?) Warren Hasting. The Gentleman Rogue in the great far East and the air thick with spices, exotic romance and duels.
