Austen at Sea (2025)
Natalie Jenner
"From post-Civil War America, an intrepid group of Jane Austen's ardent admirers traverse the Atlantic to visit Sir Francis Austen, the last surviving sibling of the esteemed authoress. In search of insights into Jane's writing and life, what they discover is much more than the knowledge they sought-meeting heroes and villains, passion and purpose. Jenner again reveals her skill as a master storyteller whose astute observations of human nature rival Austen's own. Readers will be delighted by her charming characters, engaging plot, and sensational denouement."

All Stirred Up (2020)
Brianne Moore
"A delightful contemporary twist on a classic tale, All Stirred Up will make Jane Austen’s many fans laugh, cry, and eat."

Miss Austen (2020)
Gill Hornby
"A joy from the prologue to the author’s note. Rich in historical detail, family lore, and heart, Miss Austen will wow Janeites and enchant the uninitiated. Upon her sister’s death, Cassandra claimed that she was ‘the sun of my life.’ Now we know why."
