I do have some of her books already, but signed copies!!! And I love to win anything.<br /><br />I am amazed at the multi-talent multi-facet multi-tasking aspects of many writers' lives, and reading Abigail's profession (active still) was fascinating and intimidating in that she does both well. <br /><br />When I get a chance (and no kids clamoring for attention) I'm going to come back and visit with the other author's interviews. Gardenings? Another creative outlet that goes with JA, of course.<br /><br />And I am very curious about your own book. Congratulation on publishing it. Will put it on my list. Amazon and I are good buddies.<br /><br />NinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838467733341873771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-36216681055376838392009-06-26T05:43:32.031-05:002009-06-26T05:43:32.031-05:00Wonderful interview.

Marilyn, thanks for including me in your wonderful Austen Fest--you have some great readers. To answer your question, I'm not that far into writing the children's biography of Jane Austen. I'm doing the fun part right now--the research. My other project for the summer is to put my website together (thanks for the help, Marilyn!), so I hope I'll have some fun stuff for people to see there soon.Kim Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-20288383338620962882009-06-24T22:22:36.840-05:002009-06-24T22:22:36.840-05:00Ack!

I'm so happy to have found all this new information, as I have a real interest in what life was like in Regency England. To that end, I enjoyed the time travel in Laurie Viera Rigler's book, and Abigail's writing gives a realistic look into what the practice of medicine was like back then. I've taken this so far as to buy 2 antiques, 2 writing boxes because I want to own something that was in use at that time.<br />I'm looking forward to reading your book and some of the others recommended.<br />Thanks,<br />Leslie EmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-63199653245846560562009-06-24T18:31:08.504-05:002009-06-24T18:31:08.504-05:00I love Jane Austen, and roses.

I had such a weakness for them in elementary school. They were bound in blue with silhouettes rather than pictures spattered through the pages. I read them all and loved them.

I can't wait to get a copy of your book to find out!<br /><br />My writing chapter recently had a presentation on tea in Jane Austen's time. The presenter used your book, Tea with Jane Austen, as a source.
