Joana Starnes lives in the south of England with her family. She swapped several hats over the years – physician, lecturer, clinical data analyst – but feels most comfortable in a bonnet. She has been living in Georgian England for decades in her imagination, and plans to continue in that vein till she lays hands on a time machine. She loves to look for glimpses of Pemberley and Jane Austen’s world, and to write about Regency England and Mr Darcy falling in love with Elizabeth Bennet over and over and over again.

She is the author of ten Austen-inspired novels and a contributor to the Quill Ink Anthologies. Joana’s novels are all available on Amazon in Kindle Unlimited and in paperback, and some have also been released in Audible.

New look!

Good morning! I finally managed to do a spot of spring cleaning on my author website. Would you like to stop by and have a look around?

Quotes by Joana Starnes  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is a wonderful collection,” she murmured. “I imagine that exploring it would take longer than a lifetime.” Despite himself, Darcy’s smile widened. “Oh, I believe a lifetime should just about suffice.”
― Joana Starnes, Snowbound

“How would it have looked to Jane – and to all her relations, for that matter – if I snivelled and whined ‘Darcy bade me do it’?”
― Joana Starnes, Snowbound

“This was the sort of man who reached his destination with the implacable force of an avalanche and cared just as little about obstacles or anyone who might get in his way.”
― Joana Starnes, Mr Bennet's Dutiful Daughter

message 2: by Joana

Joana Starnes I read them ages ago too. Loved all of them but the last 3 volumes best of all. I think they were all published and nothing new surfaced. There's the first trilogy, (The Forsyte Saga: The Man of Property - In Chancery - To Let), the second (A Modern Comedy: The White Monkey - The Silver Spoon - Swan Song), and the third (End of the Chapter: Maid in Waiting - Flowering Wilderness,- One More River). I found it hearbreaking how Wilfrid and Dinny couldn't be together.


Sheila Majczan The Forsyte Saga - read those so long ago. Now wondering about them again and asking if these are new books? Or part of the continuing saga?
