Pencil sketch of Jane Austen by her sister Cassandra Austen.
Jane Austen died on this day in 1817. In her too short 41 years on this planet, she wrote six of the greatest novels in the English language, laid the groundwork for the modern romance, and gifted us with some of the best quotes ever. Pour one out for Jane today.

1 hour ago Javier C. Hernández and Maggie Haberman Trump had 'aptitude for music' as a child, he told Kennedy Center Board.
"There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient." - Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Jessica Bull's "Miss Austen Investigates: A Fortune Most Fatal" is full of clever quips, an authentic Regency setting, and complex characters. Mystery readers and Austen fans alike will love this cozy thriller. (Is that a genre? It should be.) Full review: open.substack.com/pub/janeaust...
