Hi
everyone, it’s great to be here and talk about my upcoming release, Strong
Objections to the Lady. This is my fourth novel, and after a year last week
(yay!) of writing full time, I love being able to sink my teeth into all the
best parts of Jane Austen Fan Fiction.

NEW RELEASE! A SISTER'S CURSE BY JAYNE BAMBER: GUEST POST, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY
Hello,
it’s good to be back at My Jane Austen Book Club!
I am
so excited to share an excerpt with you from my new release, A Sister’s
Curse. The story is another high-angst tale, with Elizabeth meeting
Fitzwilliam Darcy – and his entire extended family – much earlier on. In fact,
she finds herself a part of his extended family long before they ever fall in
love – it’s complicated!

UNEXPECTED FRIENDS & RELATIONS - BLOG TOUR WITH AUTHOR JAYNE BAMBER
By
Jayne Bamber, author of the Friends &
Relations Series
In all the facets of Jane Austen’s genius, perhaps the most
delightful is the reality she imbues in all her characters. No one is quite
perfect, making them all the more relatable. We can easily imagine ourselves as
one or other of her heroines, not because they are as perfect as we might wish
to be, but because they, like us, are not. Elizabeth Bennet, the paragon every
Janeites wishes to be, is prejudiced and faulty in her judgement. Anne Eliot is
too easily persuaded, and Fanny Price rather a bore and a prude. Each of the
Dashwood sisters lacks one of the titular traits, while experiencing rather too
much of the other, and Catherine Morland literally accuses her future
father-in-law of murder (yikes.)

BLOG TOUR: HAPPIER IN HER FRIENDS THAN RELATIONS. AUTHOR GUEST POST AND GIVEAWAY
Evil Jane!

As a reader (okay, addict) of
Austen fanfiction for over a decade I have, like many of you, consumed a lot
of JAFF over the years, and have seen all sorts of wild liberties taken with
the characters and storylines we love so dearly.
One of my favorite tropes in
fanfiction is raising antagonists to Supervillain Status, and it’s been done
with a lot of characters from Pride &
Prejudice – Lady Catherine, Caroline Bingley, and George Wickham (the usual
suspects) are often upgraded to evil masterminds with nefarious schemes against
our dear Lizzy and Darcy. Even characters like Mr. Collins, Lydia Bennet, and
Mrs. Bennet, who are more chaotic-neutral (or idiotic neutral?) than true evil,
have taken their turn as villains, as have revered supporting characters like
Mr. Bennet, Georgiana Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam. So why not the angelic
Jane Bennet?
