Shameless promotion time: Amazon is pushing my wife Laura Levine's first book in her long-running Jaine Austen series (Jaine's mother was an Anglophile and a bad speller). "This Pen for Hire" is now available on Kindle for $1.99, which I happen to think is a hell of a bargain for what you're getting. Here's what Publisher's Weekly said:
Though her life is in danger, Jaine never loses her sense of humor as the story zips along to an action-filled and surprising climax. Levine delivers the goods, and readers who appreciate a heroine with wry, self-deprecating humor will hope Jaine soon gets caught up in another murder.
By the way, there are nine other books in the series. Here's the link to Amazon.
