"It is a truth universally acknowledged that an Austen story will be in possession of a happy ending, but... Austen also doles out her fair share of despicable villains, terrifying marriages, and even a few thriller-esque motifs." crimereads.com/darker-side-j…
Reminder to all would-be authors: PLEASE read submission guidelines (including for formatting) before sending in your query and sample chapters. The guidelines are there for a reason. #authortips #gettingpublished tips
