Prompts:
1) Jane Austen was.an artist and writer. Give yourself a point if you're an artist. Give yourself an extra point if you are a writer.
2) Austen was born to a large family. She had a total of 7 siblings: one sister and six brothers. Give yourself a point if you have three or more siblings family.
3) Austen did not enjoy her formal education. Give yourself a point if you did not care for school.
4) Dark humor is woven throughout Austen’s writing. Give yourself a point if you have a grim sense of humor. You must share a dark joke in order to get this point.
5) Jane broke off two engagements and died a spinster. Give yourself a point if you are single.
6) Austen experienced low periods or spells of depression. Give yourself a point if you have struggled with mental health.
7) Jane moved away from her childhood home in her 20s. Give yourself a point if you’ve lived away from your childhood hometown or region.
8) Jane was not vain. Give yourself a point if you have very little interest in vanity.
9) Hair was of little concern to Austen. Give yourself a point if you cannot be bothered with your hair.
10) Austen expressed her distaste for hot weather. Give yourself a point if you dislike the heat.

How did you score?
10-11 - The spirit of Jane Austen lives in you. She’s with you day in and day out.
9-8 - In another life Jane Austen and you could have been siblings or at least good friends. You want to spend time with one another and work to make that happen.
6-7 - You and Austen are friends. You two could enjoy a long walk in the country and chat about all of the things you all have in common.
4-5 - Though you have less in common with Jane than some, you could probably spend an afternoon with her chatting about your similarities and differences.
2-3 - You and Austen may not share much in common, but you two would be delighted to see one another at a local social gathering exchanging pleasantries on your different lives.
0-1 - You and Austen could learn a lot from one another considering how different you are. This could be shared over a cup of afternoon tea.

David's video announcing the book's release (1 minute) - youtube.com/watch?v=amlqfvLjXs4

List of stories:
Lost in a Familiar Place - 3 stars - One of the shortest. This is more of a story outline than an actual story.

The Best Birthday - 4 stars

Words Like Rain - 4 stars - Clever world building

The Portentous Passenger - 4 stars

The First Martian Church of God - 5 stars - My favorite of the stories

The Nano-Knights of Mars - 4 stars - Fun sci-fi retelling of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

The Saga of Artur Uthersson - 3 stars - Clever idea, but the story didn't really work for me.

The Saga of Freydis Beastsbane - 4 stars - Slow start, but has a great fight scene.

Ogre Hunt - 4 stars

Doppelganger Danger - 4 stars - This one will keep you guessing.

Taking Down Goliath - 3 stars - The poem of the book. I'm not much of a poetry reader.

A Merchant in Oria - 4 stars - The longest story of the book and it does some interesting things.
