Melissa Halcomb

Melissa first discovered Pride & Prejudice at the age of eleven when her aunt was recording the BBC miniseries from TV to VHS and that, as they say, was that. 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 JAFF in 2019 and was hooked. After reading so many variations and imagining 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 of sixteen years--a very real Darcy without the obscene wealth--their five children, and a great behemoth of a dog, Knightley. When not reading or writing, which is not very often, Melissa enjoys campin

Jann Rowland is a Canadian, born and bred. Other than a two-year span in which he lived in Japan, he has been a resident of the Great White North his entire life, though he professes to still hate the winters.

When Jann is not writing, he enjoys rooting for his favorite sports teams. He is also a master musician (in his own mind) who enjoys playing piano and sing

Mary Smythe

She discovered the works of Jane Austen as a teenager, thanks to the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries featuring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, and has since gone on to read everything written by Ms Austen at least once yearly, always wishing that there were more. She has been writing since 2001, but only discovered Jane Austen Fanfiction in the summer of 2018.

Dare to Refuse Such a Man is the first full-length novel she has ever completed, though she can boast a few shorter works in her library, as well.

Ann Galvia

Ann started writing sometime before she knew how letters functioned. Her first books were drawings of circus poodles heavily annotated with scribbles meant to tell a story. Upon learning how letters were combined to represent words, she started doing that instead. This has proven to be much more successful.

Sometime after that, she decided she wanted to study Anthropology and sometime after that, she decided she liked cats more than dogs. And sometime after that, she decided to become an educator and teach a new generation of kids how to combine letters to represent words, and use those words to express ideas.

And sometime after that, she realized all she really wanted to do was write, which probably should have been evident from the beginni
