Jane Goes Batty

I thoroughly enjoyed this second installment in Michael Thomas Ford's series featuring Jane Austen---as a vampire! Jane Goes Batty continues the story of Jane Austen, aka. Jane Fairfax, bookstore owner and author of the recent bestseller, Constance. In this installment, Jane must contend with meeting her boyfriend Walter's strong-willed Jewish mom and deciding whether or not she can marry Walter and confess her vampirism, while dealing with her persistent and pushy editor who wants chapters of her six-months-behind new novel. Add to this mix a pushy film editor and crew who are filming a version of Constance...set in the 1950's! What's an un-dead vampire author to do with all this mess? Jane deals with all of this drama in her classically unflappable way--she is witty, well-mannered and a great heroine. If you love Jane Austen or any of her books you are sure to love this delightful series that celebrates one of the world's most beloved authors. Be sure you start with the first book in the series, Jane Bites Back, or you might be a little confused!
