Well, Jane turns 232 this month and what better way to celebrate then with the new Andrew Davies adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. In the UK it is being screened on New Year's Day. Regency World Editor Sue Hughes met Andrew Davies earlier this month so you will need to read the next magazine to find out what was said.
Hope you have a very Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.

You must follow our serial There must be Murder. Chapter 12 - "Going to one wedding brings on another." The exciting conclusion.
We are hoping to publish this story in paperback in the new year. Watch this space.
