Wild About Jane Austen February 3, 2010

Do you dream of life at Pemberley? Do you ask your friends to call you Emma? Do you struggle between sense and sensibility? If so, you might be a Jane Austen addict. Join us for an evening with Laurie Viera Rigler, best-selling author of the time-bending novels "Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict" and "Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict". Laurie will read passages from her latest novel in which a gentleman's daughter from Regency England awakens in the urban madness of twenty-first-century Los Angeles—with comic and romantic consequences. A writing instructor as well as a novelist, Laurie looks forward to discussing her passion for all things Austen and answering questions about the process of researching, writing, and getting published. Copies of both books will be available for signing and purchase.
