Monica is an author with nomadic tendencies who believes in drinking tea to Stay Calm. She has lived almost as many years in the USA as in the UK. Her favorite things to do are visiting historical sites here in the UK and snuggling up with a good book when it's raining. She dislikes zombies like the plague, and avoids them if at all possible. Monica writes serious, comical and fantasy Pride and Prejudice Variations. Her most popular books are Fortune and Felicity (serious), the Dangerous Magic series (magical fantasy, also serious), and Longbourn Entanglement (comical novella). Which makes her mostly a serious writer, but she loves to laugh. She lives with the delusional idea that her two cats are telepathic. Which they are.
