Intimations of Austen
by Jane Greensmith
Published: 2008
...a Collection of Short Stories inspired by the writings of Jane Austen.
Description from the amazon:
This collection of nine short stories includes backstories, sequels and what-ifs to Jane Austen's beloved novels.
Greensmith provides sympathetic insights into characters you love to hate. Her what-if stories are realistic, true to Austen’s characters, and delightful to sink your teeth into.And always, Greensmith, Romantic that she is, calls forth the power and beauty of the natural world to heal, bless, and nurture the wounded, the misunderstood, the lonely, and the confused on their journeys through life.
You can actually read some of the stories online at Jane's website.
Jane says:
So what about Emma? Somehow Emma Woodhouse never really worked her way into one of my short stories, so I ended up writing a contemporary novel inspired by Emma...you can read it here: No Runs, No Hits, No Errors. Isn't that just like Emma--she won't settle for simply a short story. She insists on having her own novel.
