Melissa Anne never intended to write a book. However, after reading dozens (hundreds) of variations of Pride and Prejudice, she decided to give it a shot. She started posting on a Fan Fiction site and soon grew an audience that appreciated her work.

While most of her books adhere to the original Regency era time period of Pride and Prejudice, Finding Love at Loch Ness is a sweet variation where American grad student Elizabeth Bennet encounters and falls in love with a Scottish William Darcy.

Hailing from East Tennessee, Melissa Anne has settled in Georgia with her husband and three children.

Amanda Kai’s love of period dramas and classic literature inspires her sweet historical and modern romances. She is the author of seven award-wining books inspired by Jane Austen, including Sudden Awakenings and Swipe Right for Mr. Darcy. When she’s not driving into the realm of her imagination, Amanda lives out her own happily ever after in Texas with her husband and three children.

Serious word junkie, steadfast purveyor of silliness, and author of historical romances in the Austenesque and Regency genres. Does all her writing in the garden shed, which is nicknamed 'The Hermitage' and boasts a vintage chaise-longue, a view of the Hertfordshire countryside, and a wooden parrot.

Amy D’Orazio is a longtime devotee of regency romance and historical fiction. She began writing her own tales to amuse herself during hours spent at her kids sports practices and the like and soon discovered a passion for it. By far, however, the thing she loves most is the connections she has made with readers and other writers in various forums!

Amy currently lives in Myrtle Beach with her husband and daughters, as well as three Jack Russell terriers who often make appearances (in a human form) in her books.

Born in South Africa, award-winning author Riana Everly has called Canada home since she was eight years old. She proudly boasts one husband, two grown(ish) children, three degrees, four recordings, five instruments (of varying proficiencies), six languages (also of varying proficiencies), various short stories, novellas, and 14 novels and counting! She also can’t count very well :)

When not indulging in her passion for Jane Austen, Riana loves cooking, travel, and photography. She’s a historian and trained classical musician, specializing in viola, and is delighted to be able to combine her love of writing and music in her novels.

She now lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband, a secret stash of cholate, and far too many books.

Julie has been writing and publishing books for almost 5 years with one of the premier small publishers focused on Jane Austen and Regency romances, Quills and Quartos Publishing. Her books are unique, clever, and romantic, sometimes with a hint of magic sprinkled in 🔮

A standout in the genre and sure to satisfy any Austen lover!

I write mostly funny Austenesque books filled with characters you love and those you love to hate. Mr. Darcy is always swoon-worthy (though sometimes he takes a minute to get there), and Elizabeth is always spunky but occasionally stubborn.

I love original characters and situations that force conversation, and above all things, banter. Ah, banter! I will also make you cry sometimes, because, well, I’m contrary like that.
