Monica Fairview

Monica writes comic, serious and magical Pride and Prejudice variations, which means she spends a lot of her time with Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in her head. Her greatest claim to fame is living in the Elizabeth Gaskell's house in Manchester, long before the house was restored to its former glory. 

After studying in the USA, she taught literature, then became an acupuncturist. She now lives near London. Monica obsessively follows every period drama she can find. Among her favorites are ‘Pride & Prejudice’ (all adaptations), ‘North & South’, ‘Cranford’, 'Sanditon', 'Bridgerton' and ‘Downtown Abbey’. 

Apart from her interest in the 19th century, Monica enjoys reading fantasy and post-apocalyptic novels, but avoids zombies like the plague. She loves to laugh, drink tea, and visit historic properties near her home close to home. 

She lives with two cats and a husband, and is fully convinced that her two cats are telepathic.
