A Mad Endeavour
Having advanced into her fourth decade of life, Jane Austen harbours no false hopes about her own romantic prospect. The quietude of a country life, unpunctuated by griefs and vexations, and supplemented by the affection of a dear sister and devoted mother, was her lot. Taken together with her devotion to her writing and her books, she has determined that for some people, like herself, spinsterhood is a blessing.
But into this placid contentment comes a surprise. A widowed gentleman, former schoolmate of her brother Edward Austen-Knight, has come into the neighbourhood bringing with him a son and two daughters, and suddenly Jane’s life seems it will take a turn. Perhaps love need not be something she merely reads and writes about.
Alas, behind every widower is a storied past, and when Jane learns of John’s from a lady he has jilted, she knows not who to believe. Is Mr Wirthemore her Mr Darcy? Or shall he prove to be a Wickham? Will she be able to trust him once she learns the truth?
A Mad Endeavour: The Last Romance of Jane Austen is a look into the life and love our dear authoress might have had if she had not died at a tragically young age. It is a clean, low-angst second chance regency romance suitable for any age and excellent for anyone who loves Jane Austen.
Looking for a publisher?
Quills & Quartos Publishing has one goal: to pair the best Jane Austen variations with the best in editing and cover design to create a superlative reading experience. We are not a vanity press, imprint, or services-for-hire company, but a traditional royalty-paying publishing house, staffed with editors and designers, looking for stories people will want to read.
But we need authors to create those stories. Are you a writer of historical romance interested in publishing your work? We would love to hear from you.
