frederica is a great georgette heyer to start with. it certainly was for me years ago - it got me hooked. i love many of her regencies/historicals, two of which - Cotillion and A Civil Contract break some of the regency traditions. and her first book, the black moth, can be downloaded right here on mobile read. it's actually another of my faves.

Thank you! I downloaded it onto my Nook, it will be my next read after I finish Kazan by James Oliver Curwood.

I remember reading a book some years ago, that was a continuation of Austen's unfinished novel, Sandition. I found that quite interesting even though the author didn't quite have the feel for the time period.

Joan Aiken did some fairly good ones. I can't recall any particulars as I read them at least 15 years ago. There were better ones such as Mansfield Park revisited and one about Jane Fairfax and some were so-la-la. After two or three books, I lost interest.
