It's Miss Austen's 243th birthday! What would we do without her? Maybe have realistic expectations about men? Either way, Jane Austen is a much beloved author here so this is cause for celebration. So what's going on? Well, I hear Quirk Books is having a big celebration since Miss Austen has given them a very big year. I also suspect Jane Austen's World, Austen Prose, and Jane Austen Today, among others will have big goings on. Happy Birthday Jane!

Fitzwilliam Miller wishes Miss Austen a very happy birthday and extends apologies on behalf of all humanity for the mashup called Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters. A woman of wit and wisdom, I take hope in the assurance that you do not strain your bones by too much rolling in your grave...
