*The fantastic graphics you are seeing for Austenesque Extravaganza were created by the wonderfully talented Lady Turner! Thank you, Lady Turner!
Once again 3 out of 5 authors isn’t bad. I loved reading their sites. Thanks for making it easy for us. I especially enjoy J. Marie Croft. One can’t get enough humor in life. suzan
Thanks, Suzan!
I do believe humour is the best medicine, but I’ve been taken to task for providing an overdose.
Going to go visit again 🙂
So glad to see a Canadian writer here!
and off I go!!! 🙂
Good reads!
Once again….great tour. Unable to comment to Vera, but loved her post just the same!

Congratulations to you both!
I can’t wait to have a few minutes to myself this afternoon and head over to these blogs!!=)
Oh, what another wonderful time touring the blogsphere! I had a most pleasant time!
Mrs. Elton certainly gave us the insider’s view at Diana’s today!
a lovely visit with C. Alyn Pierson hearing her writing journey and on to publication. always fun to hear the ‘rest of the story!’
surprised to meet a Canadian author with a new to me book {Joanne Marie Croft}! perfect for the Cdn author reading Challenge on my blog!
Norilana generously shared her creativity today!
what an interesting writing journey with Tina & Gail “)more new reads to add to the wishlist!
I LOVE all of this traveling & touring that you’ve been setting up for us! I’m a day late, but “heading out” on the featured tour for the day 🙂
Wow!!! Enjoyed this “tour”!! Lots of fun & laughs within those blogs/sites. I think I’d have to say my favorite, though, was that of C. Allyn Pierson & talking about Mr. Darcy’s Little Sister… especially how she spotted her “Georgiana”, and made the Regency gown for her to wear on the cover of her book. Such a fantastic talent!
I loved the interview with Mrs Elton. It was hilarious! I am not accustomed to Vera Nazarian’s supernatural series of JA’s novels though.
Another enjoyable Thursday. (even though it’s now Saturday when I’m getting to it) I love getting to know about new blogs and sites to look at. I agree with “pseudophilosopher”, I really enjoyed the interview with Mrs. Elton, but I’m not so much a fan of Jane Austen associating with the supernatural. Not for me.
Enjoyed Ms. Pierson’s story about writing in secrecy!
I’ve finally finish reading all the featured posts. I enjoy reading the creativity of all authors in giving different takes like a character interview, their writing inspirations, lovely excerpts, etc. A really good mix.
what a nice tour! Mrs. Elton was *delightful* as usual. And it’s cool to get insights into how authors’ inspirations.
My to-read list keeps growing and growing with every post!
