I know I say that it's unbelievable, but it really is hard for me to fathom the idea that my book is going ot be out on Thursday. I've taken Friday off as a vacation day, and I am crossing my fingers I actually see PRADA & PREJUDICE in stores.
 
As I think about it, I ponder who my core audience will be. YA's, certainly. But I do have to wonder how much Austen fans will be interested in it. And what they'll think of me borrowing a little bit of Jane-- if they'll expect PRADA & PREJUDICE to somehow live up to PRIDE & PREJUDICE, which of course I could never, ever in a million years, accomplish.

I was just looking at Amazon, and here are some of the books PRADA is bought "together with:

JANE AUSTEN RUINED MY LIFE
LOVE, LIES, AND LIZZIE (JANE AUSTEN IN THE 21st CENTURY)
