Jane Lark ~ Featured Beau Monde Author

ByThe Beau Monde June 3, 2013February 6, 2017

When Jane completed her first novel it was because she was determined not to reach forty still saying, I want to write.

You might think Jane was inspired to write by Jane Austen, especially as she lives near Bath in the United Kingdom, but you would be wrong. Jane’s favourite author is Anya Seton, and the book which drew her into the bliss of falling into historical imagination was ‘Katherine’ a story crafted from reality.

Jane has drawn on this inspiration to discover other real-life love stories, reading memoirs and letters to capture elements of the past, and she uses these to create more realistic plots.

Now she is writing Regency Romance for Sapphire Star Publishing, and her debut novel, Illicit Love, was released May, 2^nd.

Lord Byron, the Father of Computer Programming?
ByKathryn Kane May 27, 2012February 16, 2016

Impossible? Computers are a twentieth-century invention, right? Not so.
