And the Winner of Anne Elliot, A New Beginning Is

Anne Elliot, A New Beginning: A Persuasion Re-imaginingThe winner of my new novel, Anne Elliot, A New Beginning is Katy. Congratulations! I have sent a notification e-mail. If you don't receive it, please contact me at quailcreekpub@hotmail.com.

Thanks to everyone for participating. I loved reading your answers because this is a book that I have come to love. When I was younger, I didn't understand why Anne couldn't just speak out and tell the Captain she loved him or why the Captain didn't come back at least once to see her. But it really is a story about second chances, and that makes more sense to me as I've grown older.

I hope you will have a look at my novel, which is available on Amazon. Thank you. :)

  1. I got my copy in the mail yesterday (along with a new copy of The Second Date- I gave my original away...)

    I also ordered Persuasion- which I had never heard of before... I started reading it last night, so 'Anne Elliot' is going to have to wait until I finish this first. But I'm quite excited for it.

  2. Thank you so much Mary! I have not read any books inspired by Persuasion, so I'm really looking forward to this! :)

  3. I hope you both enjoy Anne Elliot. I had such a good time writing it. It's the funniest thing I've ever written, and although I did take liberties (after all, Anne is a jogger), I was faithful to the love story and their characters. :)
