Amanda Grange was born in Yorkshire, England, and spent her teenage years reading Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer whilst also finding time to study music at Nottingham University. She has had seventeen novels published, including five Jane Austen retellings which look at events from the heroes’ points of view. Woman said of Mr Darcy’s Diary: ‘Lots of fun, this is the tale behind the alpha male,’ whilst the Washington Post called Mr Knightley’s Diary ‘affectionate.’ The Historical Novels Review made Captain Wentworth’s Diary an Editors’ Choice, remarking, ‘Amanda Grange has taken on the challenge of reworking a much loved romance and succeeds brilliantly.’ Austenblog declared that Colonel Brandon’s Diary was ‘the best book yet in her series of heroes’ diaries.’ Mr Darcy, Vampyre, her paranormal sequel to Pride and Prejudice, was nominated for the Jane Austen Awards.
Amanda’s stories have appeared in a number of collections including Loves Me, Loves Me Not; The Mammoth Book of Regency Romance; and A Darcy Christmas. Amanda Grange now lives in Cheshire, England. To learn more about her books, please visit her website at www.amandagrange.com.
