Austen Admirers Updated Promotions List

February 27th update:  The party hasn't stopped yet!  Anyone who donates $1 or $5 is eligible for a drawing to win a 3 month gift subscription to Audible.com!  Find books by Abigail Reynolds, PO Dixon, Syrie James and more.  This is my thank you for making my campaign a success.  You can still get a Social Media Calling Card, be eligible for stamps from Cassandra Grafton, and audiobooks - but there are only 3 days left.  Don't forget to go to kickstarter.com, donate, and you'll automatically be entered!  

Also, my sincere apologies to DarcyandLizzy.com for missing their logo on the post.  Mea culpa!

Leave aside Darcy, Wentworth, Brandon and Tilney.  (It's hard - I know!)  It is my theory that romance in Jane Austen's novels is secondary to the importance of family, especially in hard times.  Last week my amazing Janeite family stepped up to support me, much like how the Bennet sisters rallied around Lydia.  I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am.

But enough about me, let's get to the amazing donations!  For each donation level, the backer will receive the following fabulous gifts:

$25 Donation:

Author Sally Smith O'Rourke offers a choice of one her eBooks, The Man Who Loved Jane Austen or
 Affectionately Yours, Jane Austen.  Both wonderful books!

Author Jessica Grey offers her just released novel, Attempting Elizabeth, to anyone who donates $25 or more after February 22nd.  I know you'll identify with Kelsey as much as I did.  Geek girls rule!

Author Maria Grace offers an eBook of her novel, Darcy's Decision.  Would you like to know what Darcy was like before he met Elizabeth?  This novel is for you!

$50 Donation:

Author Mary Simonsen is offering the choice of two eBooks from her Quail Creek Publishing collection if you donate $50 or more.  Go on the prowl with Mr. Darcy's Bite or slow dance with Elizabeth and Darcy during the London Blitz in Darcy Goes To War.
