Jane Austen Society of Australia announces 2006 events
The Jane Austen Society of Australia has posted its 2006 events list on its Web site. The next event, on 18 February, will be Dr Jennifer Kloester, author of Georgette Heyer’s Regency World, speaking on “Georgette and the Great Jane.”
Dude. There’s a new book about Georgette Heyer? Why were we not informed? Somebody needs to start a HeyerBlog. 
(Don’t look at us, we have more than enough projects, thank you.) And will someone please send us a plane ticket to Australia directly? Thanks! 
The Annual Conference in May will concentrate on Mansfield Park, as will the JASNA AGM.
ETA: Stephen Bowden reviewed the Heyer book on his blog. Clearly the Editrix has to get out more.

Maybe not exactly a HeyerBlog, but some of us do keep an eye out for this sort of thing.

There is a “Heyer-L” over at Yahoo groups.

Well, obviously I need to get out more.
Stephen, thanks for the link. I appreciated your review. It’s not exactly the book I hoped for either, tho’ invaluable in its own way, and I think I’m going to order it!
The book I’d like to see (with the cooperation of the estate) is the publication of the Heyer Papers, all that bits of research she left behind–the drawings of costumes, etc. When I read about that in the Aiken-Leigh bio it was like an evil tease! I want it nowwwwwwww!
(And wouldn’t that be a dream job, to edit the Heyer Papers?)
