To add a some extra heat to your summer, Marilyn is giving
away an autographed copy of her humorous and hot
award-winning debut, ACCORDING TO JANE; a t-shirt with the
cover of her upcoming novel, FRIDAY MORNINGS AT NINE; and
her favorite full-sized sensuous Bath & Body Works triple
moisture body cream--Warm Vanilla Sugar!
It begins one day in sophomore English class, just as Ellie
Barnett's teacher is assigning Jane Austen's Pride and
Prejudice. From nowhere comes a quiet "tsk" of
displeasure. The target: Sam Blaine, the cute bad boy who's
teasing Ellie mercilessly, just as he has since
kindergarten. Entirely unbidden, as Jane might say, the
author's ghost has taken up residence in Ellie's mind, and
seems determined to stay there. Jane's wise and witty advice
guides Ellie through adolescence and beyond, serving as the
voice she trusts, usually far more than her own.
Years and boyfriends come and go, but Jane's counsel is
constant, and on the subject of Sam, quite insistent. Stay
away, Jane demands. Still, everyone has something to learn
about love--perhaps even Jane herself. And lately, the voice
in Ellie's head is being drowned out by another, urging her
to look beyond everything she thought she knew and seek out
her very own, very unexpected, happy ending.

all."~Laurel Ann Nattress, Austenprose
