About this author

Amanda Grange was born in Yorkshire and spent her teenage years reading Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer whilst also finding time to study music at Nottingham University. She has had sixteen novels published including six 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 hit upon a winning formula."

“If we all spoke the truth there would be a great deal of unhappiness in the world, and particularly at such a time. Some things are better left unsaid.”
Amanda Grange, Mr. Darcy's Diary

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew it had begun.”
Amanda Grange, Mr. Darcy's Diary

“To a good man, yes, one who knows her in all her moods, who can laugh at her follies and rejoice in her virtues; who will not allow her to give in to her worst instincts; one who knows her, and who, knowing her, will still love her, and love her as she should be loved.”
Amanda Grange, Mr. Knightley's Diary

Cindy Jones I have been reading "Jane Austen Made Me Do It", and I absolutely adored your "Mr. Bennet Meets His Match"! I have never really thought about exactly how Mr. Bennet courted Miss Gardiner, and how utterly horrible Mr. Collins' parents could have been. This story was a joy to read!
