The release of Vickie McDonough’s End of the Trail is right around the corner! Find your copy at any seller of fine books this June. Also, keep an eye out on the blog for your chance to win giveaway copies! To celebrate the imminent release of Vickie’s book, join us in dreaming of three wonderful vacations for romance readers.

#1 – Hampshire, United Kingdom
Into the World of Jane Austen

Some of the best romance the literary world has seen came from the pen of the beloved Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Emma are all well known works that take us into characters’ lives as they fall in love (or try to coerce others into doing so). Travel to Jane Austen’s home in Hampshire, UK to take a look at Jane Austen’s House Museum or take a walking tour of the area.

#2 – Clayton County, Georgia
Romance in Gone with the Wind

More than 100 years after Jane Austen penned Pride & Prejudice, Margaret Mitchell sparked different type of romance through her writing. Rather than the subtle romance of England’s landed lower class, Mitchell explores a fiery love amidst the civil war. The love between Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler remains famous to this day. Set in Clayton County, Georgia as well as nearby Atlanta, readers of Mitchell’s famous Gone with the Wind will love seeing the area that Scarlett’s home is based off of. Take a trip to the Margaret Mitchell House & Museum to see behind the book and movie. Continue reading / Leave a comment…
