Jane in limbo

To the right of this page is an icon of a book cover for a biography of Jane Austen. I wrote that book. Really, I did. But you can’t have it, not yet. The publisher, Cumberland House, has been forced to sell out, and the buyer didn’t buy my book.

I’m exploring other possibilities, but the book, already delayed a year, is being delayed again, for how long is anybody’s guess. Someday, somehow, I’ll get Jane out of limbo.
