I'm very pleased to announce that you can now pre-order in several different formats. You can order in all these formats on Smashwords, which sells the novel in various formats (you pick which format you'd like when you check out). Or of course you can do it directly. Here are the various links. Smashwords | iTunes | Kobo | Nook Amazon.comUSA | Amazon.co.UK | Amazon.CA Unfortunately, the paperback is not yet available for pre-order.

It's exciting and nerveracking  to read about people's initial impressions when a novel you've written has first been published and I'm very happy with my first review on The Ardent Reader.

She brings out the best and worst in them and makes me love them all over again!  I highly recommend this set of books to any Jane Austen lover!  I know I will read them again and again! Sounds enthusiastic, wouldn't you agree? Now you know why I'm happy!

It's available for pre-order on Amazon, Nook and Kobo. It will be available soon in paperback. Keep checking back to find out when.
