Just jumping on to say hi. I’m recovering from surgery (it went well) so I won’t be active on social media for a couple months. I am receiving excellent care from Mr. Perry, and I will be recovering by the seaside with a bowl of gruel.

Jessica Bull's "Miss Austen Investigates: A Fortune Most Fatal" is full of clever quips, an authentic Regency setting, and complex characters. Mystery readers and Austen fans alike will love this cozy thriller. (Is that a genre? It should be.) Full review: open.substack.com/pub/janeaust...
