LONDON (AP) — An unfinished early Jane Austen manuscript sold at auction in London on Thursday for almost 1 million pounds ($1.6 million), triple its highest pre-sale estimate.The draft of "The Watsons" sold for 993,250 pounds ($1.601 million). The price includes a buyer's premium.The auction house said the document sold to an anonymous buyer after extended four-way bidding in the salesroom.The incomplete work is the earliest surviving manuscript for a novel by Austen, probably written in 1804 but not published in Austen's lifetime.It centers on a family of four sisters, the daughters of a widowed clergymanSotheby's books specialist Gabriel Heaton said the heavily corrected draft "has afforded an extremely broad audience an insight into the author's writing process and reworkings."Sotheby's says it is the only major manuscript by the author still in private hands.Austen published six novels, including "Pride and Prejudice," and died in 1817 at age 41, but none of the original manuscripts survives.Source

The Vampire's Madam
Not only is Janna Cutting scorned by Victorian Society for her Indian blood but also because she owns one of the city's most profitable brothels. As madam she possesses wealth and independence and still she longs for one thing, the mysterious Hugh de Troyes. Yet, week after week, he treats her as nothing more than the proprietor of Keya House. Fueled by jealousy, Janna decides to play voyeur during the handsome Frenchman's visit. What she witnesses leaves her aroused beyond endurance and privy to the knowledge that Hugh is far from satisfied. He deserves a woman willing to see to all his needs, a woman willing to bleed. Janna is that woman, but failing to convince Hugh might leave her with a wound far greater than any his fangs could inflict.
