I found Jane Austen after watching the 1995 BBC series, Pride and Prejudice. Who was this historical author who’d written this fantastic, addictive miniseries?!? Up until that point I’d never really watched historical romance movies or shows, but after this series I was hooked. So imagine my delight when when Sense and Sensibility and Emma followed on the big screen. Books that I’d come to adore were brought to life. It was heaven on earth. I was only in my late teens when the BBC series came out and although it would be another ten years before I myself would start writing, I often re-read Austen’s books for inspiration and to be lost in a time that this one author in particular knows better than any of us who try and replicate life in the early 19th century. Having said that, I do believe the historical authors of today do Austen proud, and that she would be happy knowing that woman today across the world live by their pen.
