Pride and Prejudice blog tour

Hello, dear readers! The Pride and Prejudice blog tour is underway!

At My Vices and Weaknesses, you can view a variety of Pride and Prejudice covers I've found, from the beautiful to the absurd.

At Austenesque Reviews, try your hand at finding the differences between my restored version and another version of Pride and Prejudice.

And at My Love for Jane Austen, you can read about the publishing both of the 1813 Egerton first edition, and this new edition.

And I hope you'll join me for the whole tour:

Dear readers, I need your help!

It's here! Pride and Prejudice: A Novel. In Three Volumes. (Annotated and Restored to 1813 Egerton First Edition) is now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo stores,

However, please don't buy it for the $0.99 price at Amazon. It is meant to be free. Here is where I need you: help me make it free!

Amazon will not let me post it for less than 99 cents, however it's my understanding that they WILL lower the price if readers report they found a lower price elsewhere. So please go to Amazon and do so. Here is where you can find the link:

All you need to do is provide the Barnes and Noble or Kobo link and the price of 0. I have no idea how many people need to do this before it will kick in at Amazon, but I'd say if it's still not free when you visit, please do it.

Thank you for your help in achieving my goal of making this freely available!

More about the special project, vote on a cover, and time travel

It's been a full couple of days!

Today at Austen Authors I'm talking about who I would bring forward in time, to see the impact they'd had. And talking more about the special project, which is my effort to restore Pride and Prejudice to the 1813 Egerton first edition, and make it available digitally to readers. That teaser photo I posted? That's a real, live, first edition that I had a chance to work with at Goucher College.

And if you head over to Just Jane 1813, you can vote on the cover for this special edition of Pride and Prejudice. People have been even more across the board on the options than I'd expected so far, so make your voice heard!
