In the Path of Jane Austen: Travels and Tales — A 250th Birthday Anthology
Written by: Carol S. Bowes/Various Austenesque Authors
Goodreads Review: September 9, 2025
Expected Release: October 2, 2025

An Anthology with Heart: Honouring Jane and Helping Her Legacy

This book was such a joy to read. Carol S. Bowes gathered six favourite Austenesque authors—Kelly Miller, Suzan Lauder, L.L. Diamond, Riana Everly, Heather Moll, and Lory Lilian—to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday. Each of them took inspiration from a place they had visited in England and turned it into a short story. There are even photos from their trips, which made me feel like I was tagging along.

I’ll probably never get the chance to walk those places myself, so it was wonderful to live it all through their eyes. One moment I was in Pemberley’s gallery, the next in Bath, and even in a bit of fantasy where Anne Elliot meets Jane Austen.

Each story offers something unique:

The Love Potion by Kelly Miller
Elizabeth helps a young boy who has sprained his ankle, and in gratitude she receives a love potion from his mother. When she decides to give it to Darcy, it’s not done with kindness. The tension lies in whether the potion will actually work—and what Elizabeth will do if it does.

What are Men to Rocks and Mountains? by Suzan Lauder
This one takes Lydia Bennet’s infamous elopement and turns it on its head. At first, I was every bit as exasperated with Lydia as I usually am, but by the end I found myself grateful for her presence the story. It’s a clever twist that made me like her.

Seeking His Second Chance by L.L. Diamond
Lady Catherine may be gone, but her influence isn’t. Darcy comes across her journal and with it the truth about a scheme, carried out with an unexpected ally, that pulled him and Elizabeth apart. Watching him attempt to fix what is broken made this one of the most emotional stories in the collection for me.

A Matter of Persuasion by Riana Everly
This story adds a touch of fantasy as Anne Elliot comes face-to-face with a young woman named Jane—only the reader knows it’s Austen. Their meeting is at times warm, at times tense, but always compelling. Through it, Anne finds the clarity to direct her own choices and desires.

The Path to Love by Heather Moll
Elizabeth is given bad directions while visiting Pemberley, meant to lead her astray. Instead, the detour sets her on just the right course. It’s a reminder that sometimes the wrong turn is exactly the right one.

The Gallery of Second Chances by Lory Lilian
Elizabeth returns to Pemberley a year after her first visit, the one cut short by Jane’s letters. The gallery becomes her refuge, a quiet place that also gives her and Darcy some much-needed privacy. And then there’s the portrait of Darcy…quietly holding the key to what her heart has known all along.

And here’s a small tease: two authors chose the same unexpected character to meddle in Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship. Both attempts fail, thankfully, leaving ODC on the path to their happily ever after.

What I also love is that all profits go to a Jane Austen charity. So not only do you get six wonderful stories, you’re also helping to honour Austen’s legacy.

I highly recommend this book and support the cause. I was honoured to receive an advance copy and am voluntarily leaving a review. I’ll be purchasing the published version to add to my library.

Kharkiv printing house was restored after Russian missiles destroyed the facility one year ago.

American philanthropist Howard Buffett funded the restoration project. When Ukraine sought help after the destruction, Buffett was first to respond with a simple promise: "We will restore it."

The attack burned 50,000 books, mostly children's literature. Seven Faktor-Druk printing house employees lost their lives while working.

@CalltoActivism You need to do more than talk, America! You should have voted in the first place. You need to get off your keyboards and act before the next phase of the Hitler playbook is enacted!

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@repcleaver There was really no ceasefire. There was always aggression in the east during the years of occupation. Russia just treated Ukraine like a puppet and then invaded thinking they could get away with it. They never anticipated Zelenskyy's leadership.

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@Bricktop_NAFO @pamela_gayhart Leave her. She's right. Putin is just started.

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@Bricktop_NAFO What needs to happen is American citizens need to get off their keyboards and get out there doing more to get the felon out of power before it's too late.

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@KyivIndependent He kept touching the President of Ukraine. What an insolent man.

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@CalltoActivism This is who Americans voted for. Now get up off your keyboards and do something about it before it's too late.

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@RepDonBeyer for shame

[Suzan Lauder So Brilliant 🇺🇦 @SuzanLauder]

@Gerashchenko_en Shame on the felon. He didn't even let Zelenskyy talk! He just wanted to steal the natural resources of Ukraine. He has no intention of helping Ukraine because he's friends with Putin.
