I have three children and after a disastrous first marriage, I found my soul mate, who I believed I had lost forever 25 years ago until we miraculously reconnected. We are now married so I am with the love of her life for life. I live with my soul mate in Australasia and we have three pets, two cats, Darcy and Bingley and a golden lab, Honey. Like many high school students, Pride and Prejudice was assigned to me in an English literature class when I was 15. It was not my favourite book, which was true of any book I was forced to read at that period ion my life. Under protest I read it in order to pass the class. I forgot about the book until I was in my 30’s when in 2004 I found and watched, and then fell in love with, the 1995 Pride and Prejudice version made for TV in England. I purchased a copy of the DVD which has been watched more times that I can count. The tipping point was when I saw the 2005 big screen adaption of P&P. Not long after I acquired and read the complete works of Jane Austen on Amazon. Reading e-books is my way of giving back to the environment. I read them all starting with Pride and Prejudice. P&P is my favourite by far of all of Miss Austen's works, or any other for that matter. After I read it three of four times over, one day I wistfully said to myself: ‘it is a great pity that Miss Austen never wrote a sequel to her seminal novel.' I was searching the Kindle Store for books and for the hell of it I entered “Pride and Prejudice Sequel’ into the search bar not expecting any results. The rest is history. I discovered the myriad of JAFF books. Once I devoured all of the sequels and continuations that I could find, I reluctantly tried a variation. I had the wrong-headed belief that variations were not as good as sequels. Boy was I ever wrong! The more that I read, the more I started getting ideas and hear stories in my head, so I decided to start writing, something that I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would ever do. Today I am the proud owner of well over 1,000 JAFF novels that I have acquired on Amazon. ‘A Change of Fortunes’ is the first book that I have written. There are a number more in the works, it seems that the more I write, the more I want to write.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
