I loved the post by the Crown Hill Writers about male characters and letter writing! Hilarious!
I have never been Kerri’s page before 🙂
Thanks for the Crown Hill Writer’s Link – loved it! I am a huge fan of Marsha Altman’s work too.
More new sites for me to read! Yea!
Hooray for touring! Most enjoyable. Props to the Crown Hill Writers for giving me a great way to wake up in the morning. That’s gonna be tough to beat.
Loved the Crown Hill Writers post! A most enjoyable read.
I loved Kerri Bennett Williamson’s blog! It was so engrossing to read!
Excellent, more places to browse!
I can’t wait to have a few minutes to myself to enjoy these sites!!
Loved the Austen heroes’ attempts at drafting letters. Thank you Crown Hill Writers. Hilarious!
Spending the afternoon discovering new blogs is a wonderful way to pass the time…thanks for the links….

I love the very clever and funny Crown Hill Writers piece in which the male characters help each other write letters. I hope these characters have a chance to get together again.
I hope we will get to see more of the male characters interacting on the Crown Hill Writers site — or in a book!
I truly enjoyed the Crown Hill Writer’s post! It made my afternoon! Like Deborah, I would love to see more of the male characters interacting!
More fun touring the blogisphere and having some Austen laughs! :o)
This is awesome! Leaning about all these new blogs
I’m on my “lunch” break right now, and will respond again later this evening when I have more time to really look through today’s posting. I see a couple of author’s names that I’m already familiar with, so, as always, I’m really looking forward to visiting those sites!
Also, just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Meredith for all of her hard work putting together this Extravaganza!! Everyday I look forward to what’s “new” and excited to check it all out!! 🙂
Awesome! These tour are awesome. 🙂

Meredith, I echo what others have said about this lovely Extravaganza. You have given to us not only entertainment, but also inroductions to new friends. How my Austen world has been broadened by your feature articles and blog tours!
