About the Book:
In this humorous, topsy-turvy Pride & Prejudice variation, all the gender
roles are reversed. It is Mr. Bennet’s greatest wish to see his five sons
advantageously married. When the haughty Miss Elizabeth Darcy comes to

prejudice—runs rampant.

About
the Author:
J. Marie
Croft, a Nova Scotia resident and avid reader all her life, discovered Jane
Austen's works later than others but made up for lost time by devouring the six
novels and as many adaptations and sequels as she could find. In the midst of
reading prodigious amounts of Austen-based fan-fiction, she realized,
"Hey, I can do that." In her spare time, when not working at a music
school or on a wooded trail enjoying her geocaching hobby, she listens to the
voices in her head and captures their thoughts and words in writing. Her
stories are light-hearted; and her motto is Miss Austen's own quote, "Let
other pens dwell on guilt and misery." J. Marie Croft is a member of the
Jane Austen Society of North America (Canada)
and admits to being
"excessively attentive" to the 1995 BBC version of Pride and
Prejudice. She can be contacted at jmariecroft@gmail.com
