Friends,
I am delighted to announce the official title for Lilibet’s second adventure…
Yes, that Austen! But a cipher? What does that have to do with the Regency romance author? Keep reading!
Lilibet Lynn is dying to explore history, but her mom has other ideas. The past is dangerous, and the secrets of using the thimble safely have been lost to time.
When Lilibet learns of a secret code that might unlock the lost laws of time travel, she decides to take matters into her own hands. After all, a quick trip to the home of famous author Jane Austen should hold nothing more dangerous than a tea party, right?
Unfortunately, while there is tea, there are also spies, kidnappers, and traitors. Young Jane is nothing like Lilibet imagined, and neither is the solidity of historical reality. Will Lilibet’s rash actions doom the future of English literature—or even the course of time itself? Or can she harness the power of the truth to save the day?
Coming November 2023!
I adore the world of Jane Austen and it has been so difficult to keep this news under wraps! However, I’ve learned that I operate best if I keep a really tight lid on my writing until it’s very close to release time. I channeled all my energy into getting this sequel completed as quickly as possible (without sacrificing any awesomeness).
That said, anytime I got a chance, I snuck in some Austen stuff on my Instagram Account. I saved most of the stories, so you can catch up if you are looking for some goodies to hold you until November!
Lilibet and I had so much fun ‘meeting’ young Jane and the delightful Austen family—as well as a nefarious spy. We also learned some answers to the inner workings of time travel, which of course led to new questions and mysteries. Whether you are a long-time Jane Austen fan, or the only Austin you know is in Texas, I can’t wait to welcome you along on our second adventure to the past!
Keep watch for an upcoming email with the official cover reveal, release date, behind the scenes facts, and a sale on my two earlier novels!
And with a sequel for one series finished up, perhaps there will soon be another installment on the other series? *wink wink*
So long for a short while,
Elizabeth
