You may recognised the name Susan Adriani from CloudCat Design who helped to create beautiful and amazing book covers for authors and publishers over the years. Indeed her creations were showcased in most of the new releases by Quills & Quartos Publishing since its inception.

You may not have heard of this author but Christine Combe quietly came to the Austenesque publishing scene three years ago with her debut Sense and Sensibility what-if story. The Correction of Folly which is the first book in What Might Have Been series, brought the unlikely pairing of Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon together in addition to some characters from Pride and Prejudice .

Thus when our darling couple meet for the first time, there is a great disparity between them as Elizabeth Benne...

There have been numerous Pride and Prejudice tales over the years that elevate the secondary characters from Jane Austen's most well known oeuvre as the main protagonist in fan fictions. Some of the popular picks that authors love to write include Colonel Fitzwilliam, Georgiana Darcy, Charlotte Lucas, Kitty and Mary Bennet. Of those choices, the plain and often overlooked middle sister in the Bennet family deserves a story of her own. And Elizabeth Rasche did just that with A Learned Romance which marks her first foray into Austenesque literature! But this isn't her debut novel because the Quills & Quartos author has released a traditional Regency romance titled Flirtation & Folly last year.

She is given a new lease of life when the now wealthy Wickhams invited her to attend the London season. Mrs Wickham's flirtatious and boisterous temper has not quelled alth...
