"I rescued you!" "You dropped a building on me."
I am having publishing issues again. Seems Amazon wishes everyone to pay 45.00 for my book.*Looks for a raise of hands of everyone willing. Listens to the crickets.* Aye, that's what I thought. I am looking into Lulu again. The price is better there, but they won't let me do the e-book. So, maybe the e-book shall be out on Amazon. (Confused yet?)
Today's book I've not yet read. It is titled Only a Novel and was written by Miss Dashwood. (You can find her blog HERE.)
Only a Novel's Summery Elizabeth Markette has always led a quiet and privileged life under the guardianship of her wealthy grandmother. But when her grandmother dies and leaves twenty-one-year-old Elizabeth alone in the world and nearly penniless, she’s forced to earn her own living for the first time in her life. Taking inspiration from her favorite British novels, she sets sail for England to seek a position as a governess. Before she can do that, however, she is rather abruptly and overwhelmingly befriended by a lonely and slightly eccentric young socialite, Lavinia Bancroft, who introduces her to the sparkling world of London society. Yet Elizabeth still feels the need to make her own way, though once she actually acquires a position, she begins to have doubts as to whether she’s actually qualified. The children she’s teaching don’t seem to like her, the housemaid seems far too eager to be friends—who wants to be friends with a housemaid?—and the stable hand keeps interfering with the children. Elizabeth’s one hope and consolation is that somehow, some way, Mr. Darcy will come riding out of the mists very soon indeed to save her from a life of respectable servitude. There’s just one problem—where is he?
Everyone who knows me knows I am not a huge fan of Period Drama books, if that is what they are called. (You know, Jane Austin and such.) I do like Little Women, but that is about the only one. So when I first learned of Only a Novel I didn't think I would ever consider buying it or reading it.
However, after reading the summery I reconsidered. The story sounds like it might be a fun twist on Pride and Prejudice. (Since I've yet to read it, I could be wrong) but I've the impression that everything the heroine dreams of backfires and her life takes a completely different twist. *Eyes the stable hand*. So, it sounds like it might be a fun book to read and I am rather excited to start it.
And, before I go to tackle the publishing problems again, I will again say, there is a giveaway still. *Smirk*. You can learn about it here. GIVEAWAY!
Also, Kendra at Knitted by God's Plan interviewed me! You can read it HERE!
Quote is from the 2nd Sherlock Holmes movie.
Allons-y!
