New Release! Lady Susan by Jane Austen presented by The Online Stage.

Written in epistolary form, this novella follows the manipulative behavior of Lady Susan Vernon, a scheming widow intent on securing a financial future for herself and also, rather begrudgingly, her teenage daughter, Frederica. Her sister-in-law, Catherine de Courcey, is none too pleased with Lady Susan's sudden arrival as Susan herself had tried to prevent Catherine's marriage to her beloved Charles. Susan sets her sights on Catherine's brother, Reginald, mostly out of jest and amusement, while Catherine makes desperate appeals to her brother and attempts to expose the true wretched character of Susan. Lesser known than her more popular works, Austen's wit still shines brightly through her characters' correspondence.

I've been doing a lot of travelling and projects around the house and garden lately. A very normal existence really and I've also been very quiet here on Facebook. But I decided this would be my next project as it was a book that got me into reading when I was just a kid. So it's about time...and I'm rediscovering what's great about Sir Arthur Conan Doyles writing. It's fun, thrilling and thought provoking. (The last tale I recorded was set in places I knew well and ended here in Savannah, Georgia where I live now! Most strange!) Anyhow, it's in production so I'll post more when it's being released. Thanks to Steven J. Cohen and Spoken Realms for their collaboration once again. Watch this space. 🙂
