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, followed by a novella, Mr Darcy: A Man with a Plan, in July 2020. The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy was released in April 2021, an a holiday novella--Christmas at Blackthorn Manor--in November, followed by Her Sisterly Love in January 2022. The Marriage Bargain, a full-length novel, was published in April 2022. This was followed by The Truth About Family (January 2023), A Matter of Prudence (August 2023), and Mrs Bennet Makes a Match (October 2023). There is more in store for 2024!

Looking Back & Looking Ahead

2020 Retrospective It’s hard not to start this post without using one of the many now-clichés about 2020. It was a tough year for all of us in different ways, and I was glad to see the end of it and cling to the hope/belief that 2021 will be better (eventually). I’ve been reminding myself …

Elizabeth Elliot Seeks a Husband Part I

When I first heard the monthly theme of “After the Wedding,” my mind immediately flew to a Persuasion plot based on Elizabeth Elliot deciding she’s had enough of being single. It’s a different take on the theme, meaning it is not a couple’s honeymoon, but I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. This is part one …
