We’re still unpacking and settling in, but do feel free to drag over a tea chest, sit down and start helping us to unwrap the fun as we take the exhilarating and terrifying steps towards publication of our new novel, The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen – available via a website near you this summer (see Book Releases for the blurb)!

We’ll be blogging about all sorts of things, from our co-writing experiences, the inspirations behind the story, the key locations and all sorts of other minutiae, such as how many emails does it take to decide what a side character is going to order for their fictional lunch, and just how significant a kiss on the cheek can be.

As Jane Austen once wrote to her sister, Cassandra:

“Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?”

We’ll let Ada begin, with the tale of a coat!
