Follow The Drum continues his military-influenced alternate universe populated by characters familiar and new.

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 borne. Lucy was introduced to the world of Austen variations after stumbling across one at a used bookstore while on holiday in London. 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 worl

Laraba Kendig

I am a scientist by training, but a writer at heart. I have always loved reading with a passion and turned my hand to fanfiction a few years ago. I write stories similar to the ones I enjoy reading. They are interesting but light, romantic but not steamy. I am a super fan of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and have been having a wonderful time writing P&P variations, exploring how new circumstances affect the beloved characters. So far I have published two novel-length Pride and Prejudice variations plus one short story via Amazon. My books include ‘I am Jael’ and ‘The Blind Will See’.

Shana Granderson

I have three children and after a disastrous first marriage I found my soul mate who I thought that was lost to me over 25 years ago. I recently married the love of my life. I live with my soul mate in Australasia and 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. It was not my favourite book, but I read it as I had to. I forgot about the book until in my 30’s when I saw and fell in love with the 1995 Pride and Prejudice version made for TV in England, and purchased a copy of the DVD that is now much played.

The tipping point was the 2005 big screen adaption of P&P. Not long after seeing it I found and read the compl

Anne Morris

Anne Morris writes everywhere, adapting to her current environment, be it a coffee shop, in the school pick-up line, or even whilst out walking - with a voice recorder, of course! Safety first.

She draws inspiration from real-world stories and events just as much as from fictional tales ranging from YA to manga and beyond.

Her favourite authors are Kerstin Gier, Jonathan Stroud, Marissa Meyer, Rick Riordan, and Scott Westerfeld.

She would like to write a science-fiction epic, perhaps similar to Lord of the Rings but set in space.

Other than writing, she enjoys designing and sewing art quilts, for which she draws inspiration from existing art or current news events.

Anne lives in California with her husband and teenage children.
