About the Author :
Melissa Halcomb first discovered Pride and Prejudice at the age of eleven when her aunt was recording the BBC miniseries from TV to VHS and instantly fell in love. A voracious reader, this led her to the novel which, in turn, led to the discovery of Jane Austen's other excellent works, Persuasion being her favorite. She stumbled upon the genre of Jane Austen fan fiction in 2019 and was hooked. After reading so many variations and imaging storylines of her own, she began writing them down and, for the first time, discovered her passion in life. Melissa lives in Alaska, with her husband-a delightful combination of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Tilney-their five children, and a great behemoth of a dog, Knightley. When not reading or writing, which is not very often, Melissa enjoys camping in the wild Alaskan frontier, baking, doing yoga, and riding her motorcycle in the most beautiful place on earth. And sleeping. Sleeping is the best. Danielle Cohen grew up in Manchester, England, reading anything and everything aloud, and at the age of eight dreamed of being a news reader, or later, a stand-up comedian! Neither of those careers ever came to fruition, but she did pursue an acting career for many years, performing in many venues around London, at the Edinburgh Festival, and worked with several children's theater companies. Danielle has also voiced a number television documentaries. Danielle now lives in Vermont. She is an actress and a successful audiobook narrator. She has always loved telling a good story and being an audiobook narrator has been a natural progression. When she's not narrating audiobooks, she can be found walking or running with friends, playing board games with her husband and teenage daughters, or baking and eating cake.
