I have been captivated by the novels of Jane Austen since I first read Pride & Prejudice in English class in high school many years ago. Following a career as a legal secretary and a second career as a special education assistant, I turned my attention to writing a novel that has been swirling around in my head for years. That story is Searching for Pemberley. With my publisher, Sourcebooks, I have published three Pride and Prejudice re-imaginings: The Perfect Bride for Mr. Darcy, A Wife for Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Darcy's Bite. I have independently published novels, novellas, and several short stories, including Darcy on the Hudson, A Walk in the Meadows at Rosings Park, For All the Wrong Reasons, Mr. Darcy's Angel of Mercy, and Captain Wentworth Home from the Sea all available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

I enjoy writing for fanfiction.net, and I especially enjoy hearing comments from my readers. Everyone has been very nice, and it is appreciated. Mary
