Lucy Marin

Lucy Marin developed a love for reading at a young age and whiled away many hours imagining how stories might continue or what would happen if there was a change in the circumstances faced by the protagonists. After reading her first Austen novel, a life-long ardent admiration was born. Lucy was introduced to the world of Austen variations after stumbling across one at a used bookstore while on holiday in London in 2002. This led to the discovery of the online world of Jane Austen fan fiction and, soon after, she picked up her pen and began to transfer the stories in her head to paper. Lucy lives in Toronto, Canada surrounded by hundreds of books and a loving family. She teaches environmental studies, loves animals and trees and exploring the world around her. Her first novel, Being Mrs Darcy, was published in March 2020 and was followed by a novella, Mr Darcy: A Man with a Plan, in July 2020. The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy was published in April 2021, followed by Christmas at Blackthorn Manor in November 2021 and Her Sisterly Love in January 2022. The Marriage Bargain releases in April 2022. Find me on Facebook (Lucy Marin), Twitter (@LucySMarin1), Goodreads (Lucy S Marin), and at austenvariations.com.
