Book Description:

Fanny doesn't want to be at The Jane Austen Academy. She intends to lay low until graduation when she can try out for the Olympic track team. She doesn't need friends or love. She only needs her running.

But The Academy is in danger. In an effort to save it, Fanny joins forces with the friends she never knew she wanted. Suddenly, Fanny finds herself center stage in the middle of the Academy's biggest love triangle as the lead in the school play...only this track star can't afford to break a leg.

* * *

The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it’s about to turn the Academy—and the lives of its students—totally upside down…

The Jane Austen Academy series are modern retellings of Jane Austen classics set at a beachside California boarding school.

CHARACTER PROFILE: Fanny

SUDDENLY YOU’s resident heroine, in her own words:

Name: Fanny Sato, and no, Fanny isn’t short for anything.

Description: Sleek black hair, brown eyes, legs like a thoroughbred horse

Occupation: Olympic medalist in training

Likes: my rainbow-colored knee-high compression socks. 

WINNING. Gold medals only. Second place need not apply.

Dislikes: high-protein power bars, blisters

Favorite TV Show: The summer Olympics

Celebrity Lookalike: She’s not Japanese but people are always telling me I look like Jamie Chung….but not as pretty.  Which I guess is a compliment…to Jamie Chung.

Celebrity Inspiration: Naoko Takahashi. She's a Japanese-born long-distance runner and until the last Olympics had the women’s marathon record. Her nickname is Daughter of the Wind. I don’t know what your nickname is, but I bet it’s not as awesome as that.

Author Bio:

Cecilia Gray lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she reads, writes and breaks for food. She also pens her biographies in the third person. Like this. As if to trick you into thinking someone else wrote it because she is important. Alas, this is not the case.

Cecilia has been praised for “instilling a warmth and weight into her characters”  (Romancing The Book Reviews) and her books have been praised for being “well-written, original, realistic and witty” (Quills & Zebras Reviews).

Her latest series of young-adult contemporary Jane Austen retellings was named a What’s Hot pick (RT Book Reviews magazine) and is a Best of 2012 pick (Kirkus Reviews) where it was praised for being a “unique twist on a classic” and offering “a compelling mix of action, drama and love.”

She’s rather enamored of being contacted by readers and hopes you’ll oblige at cecilia@ceciliagray.com or any of the following sites:
