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.

Take your lumps! Sweet ones!
BySuziLove November 3, 2011June 4, 2017

A cross-post from The Regency Redingote: Tea parties are common events in innumerable Regency romance novels. Countless characters in attendance at those fictional events take sugar in their tea. But the manner in which they take that sugar is not always historically accurate. Will that be lumps or cubes?
