It is a truth universally acknowleged that Jane Austen is still alive today... as a vampire
Michael Thomas Ford is the author of numerous books, including the novels What We Remember, Suicide Notes, Changing Tides, Full Circle, Looking for It, and Last Summer.
"A hilarious send-up of vampire novels, the Austen industry, and
one immortal author's complete inability to find a publisher—Jane
would have loved it!"—Stephanie Barron, author of the Jane Austen
mysteries
"It's impossible not to love Ford's sharp-witted, sharp-fanged
Jane Austen (and I'm not just saying that because she spares
my life in Chapter Six)."—Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies
“Fang-tastic …Ford’s Jane is a very fun and funny heroine to root
for as she endures the indignities of publishing and bookselling,
fends off danger and (perhaps) finds love. Her hilarious smack
downs with Violet hint of more madness to come in this first of a
series.”—Publishers Weekly
“Ford approvingly cites Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies, but his own mashup is better integrated, more
knowledgeable about Austen and considerably funnier.”—Kirkus
Reviews
“In this clever paranormal tale…Ford has created warm, witty
characters that will appeal to both Janeites and vampire fanciers.
Literary humor and intriguing snippets from Jane's book are the
icing on the cake. Two more books are promised in this series, so
readers who fall under Jane's spell will be eagerly awaiting her
next adventure.”—Library Journal
“Michael Thomas Ford has struck gold….The plot is inventive and
funny, and the story progresses with the kind of light touch that
compares favorably to the…Stephanie Meyer Twilight series. Ford
manages to strike just the right tone…and consistently
delights.”—Bay Area Reporter
“Few authors can deliver [Austen’s] dry, deft and wickedly funny
style. Michael Thomas Ford is one of them….Light, campy and a bit
Buffyish….The literary and historical references really
shine.”—Austenprose
"Ford gives us an authentic, sympathetic and witty Jane Austen as a
modern-day vampire….An inventive mashup plot coupled with creative
storytelling and amusing dialogue make this story a delightful
read."—Romantic Times
“Hilarious….I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and know you
will too!”—Vampire Librarian
“Such a fun read. I especially love to imagine Austen duking it out
with fellow literary blood-suckers, both literal and
figurative.”—Book Bitch
“I must admit I started this story prepared to dislike it (too many
Jane related novels), and then found I was enjoying it! It has a
little bit of something for everyone. You will enjoy it,
too.”—Romance Reviews Today
“A rollicking good read.”—Dirty Laundry
“A confection of a novel.”—The Advocate
“In the past year, I have read quite a few Jane Austen spin-offs,
but none quite as original as Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas
Ford….Incredibly readable, extremely funny, and highly
entertaining.”—Booking Mama
“FIVE STARS!”—Huntress Reviews
