I just read your story's preview chapters in the Kindle store, and am making plans to buy the book come next pay day. Your writing style is great - concise, easy to follow, and without a lot of unnecessary, distracting embellishments. I also thought you achieved a great balance between working in favorite pieces of the original dialogue (paraphrasing occasionally to better blend with your story) and avoiding leaning upon Austen's exact words
too much, as I personally find that an over-use of verbatim, canon lines can sometimes get boring. This was just right. And of course your plot is captivating – I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Congratulations on your publication!
