Lucy Marin

Toronto, Canada

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. Her first novel, Being Mrs Darcy, was published in March 2020. It was quickly followed by many other novels and novellas, including most recently the modern A Pinch of Salt and Regency era His Family Objects in the first half of 2024. Her latest book, The Art of Apology, was published in November 2024. There is more in store for 2025!

As I sit in my home in Toronto, I acknowledge that I …
