Writing
Fullerton's book, Jane Austen and Crime (2004), explores Austen's childhood fascination with crime and the way that crime and punishment affected her life.[19] Brief Encounters (2009) is a collection of writers' narratives of their travels through early colonized Australia, of which the Hectate's Australian Women's Book Review said was only lacking in women's voices.[20]
Fullerton's 2013 book, Celebrating Pride and Prejudice, describes the history and contemporary reception of Austen's book Pride and Prejudice.[21] Celebrating Pride and Prejudice also describes spin-offs of the original book and the reasons why Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are such beloved characters.[22] Star Tribune praised the book for its use of illustrations which were "as much fun as the text."[21] The Sydney Morning Herald called Celebrating Pride and Prejudice "an intelligent and generous companion to Pride and Prejudice: its author and her era, characters, language, reception, adaptions, industry."[6]
