The appeal of the works of Jane Austen never diminishes. As each new TV or film adaptation comes out, so a new generation discovers the enduring magic of Austen's world, even two centuries after her death. Austen wrote six novels, with Pride and Prejudice her most celebrated. Our guest this week, Linda O'Byrne, has written six novels that take Austen's world twenty years into the future, each focusing on the lives of the young women from the next generation of the D'Arcy, Bennett and Wickham families - The Cousins of Pemberley series. Linda began writing them during the lockdown, inspired by a family member who wanted more Austen stories to enjoy. The sixth book in the series, Beth, is published on 26th January 2024. Linda's publishing and writing career is long and varied, and as she tells us her career as the fiction editor of several national magazines is proving more of a hindrance than a help, now she's writing novels full-time.
Also this week, we romance is on our minds as we discuss a new direction for Mills and Boon, and Adrian asks the question - are the major bookshop chains actually interested in selling books anymore?
