I have a new book out! Another Austen-inspired novel, like my last, The Making of Margaret Dashwood.  Now available on Amazon.

Miss Jane Fairfax possesses all the beauty and accomplishments that British society admires in a young woman. But, alas, she is an orphan without fortune and unlikely to receive any offers of marriage. She has now come of age, and must leave the care of her guardians, and make her own way in life. She must contract herself out as a governess, a day she hopes will never come.

The unexpected happens when wealthy, charismatic Frank Churchill enters her world, asking her to make him the happiest of men, offering the love and security she desires more than anything. But no one can learn of their engagement, for Mr. Churchill’s aunt will hear of it and surely oppose the match. It must remain a great secret.

But secrets, as readers of Austen novels know, have consequences.

Readers of Emma know some of Jane Fairfax’s story, but she is seen only through the eyes of other characters. How would her story read if the events were told from her perspective?

Who will she meet, besides the Wilberforce’s, of course. Why, the abolitionist Thomas Clarkson, and Clarkson’s dear friends in the Lake Country, William Wordsworth, his wife Mary, and his sister Dorothy. What will the events of the turbulent early years of the 19th century bring to our dear heroine and her family and friends?
