Amy D'Orazio

Amy D’Orazio is a longtime devotee of Jane Austen and fiction related to her characters. She began writing her own little stories to amuse herself during hours spent at sports practices and the like and soon discovered a passion for it. By far, however, the thing she loves most is the connections she has made with readers and other writers of Austenesque fiction. Amy currently lives in South Carolina with her husband and daughters, as well as three Jack Russell terriers who often make appearances (in a human form) in her books.
