#WorldBookDay
On World Book Day, celebrating JANE AUSTEN'S REGENCY WORLD's lovely review (Joceline Bury) #happybunny #janeausten
"Alice McVeigh knows Austen's characters inside out, never striking a false note. MARIANNE is a deeply touching love story, as well as an assured comedy of Regency manners." XXAlice

You are BRILLIANT!!!
I feel your pain. My mum never reads my novels - not even the one dedicated to her - but then she never reads any novels. She's just a non-fiction reader.
My father was much the same, but funnier. He said, of my Austenesque book (set in the 1810s) "It needed a few more car chases."
Regina is very good!!!
Sounds good!!!!
My prequel to Austen's LADY SUSAN (quarterfinalist in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY's BookLife) is still free.
Um, no. Had the hots for T. Lefroy. Bi is still possible. Next question?
A genius.
Thanks so much, am honoured!!!
Thanks for reminding me...
And yesterday she got lucky again!!! π #luckybunny #mariannebymcveigh

Feeling relieved to have β almost β got to the end of a tough year but Simon is cancer-free and MARIANNE just won Gold in βromanceβ in the Literary Global Book Awards, so could have been worse! Hereβs wishing you all a happy Christmas and a healthy and peaceful 2026!!! #janeausten250
Happy Jane Austen's 250th B-day today!!!
As inspirational today as she ever was!! Simon and I gave a Regency-era-style concert in honour of this, her anniversary year, last September 21st. Here's a two-minute taster (me pretending to be Caroline Bingley, lol.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV7h...
