Jessie Michaels divides writing time between an academic day job, a school carline, and a quiet but growing conviction that Mr. Darcy has been let off too easily for too long.
Jessie's trouble began with the 1995 BBC miniseries and never quite resolved itself. Pride and Prejudice has been reread more times than is sensible; Persuasion almost as often. Not a scholar—just a reader who kept going back, kept finding something new, and finally ran out of excuses not to write. The When Mr. Darcy Atones trilogy is what came of it: the book Jessie most needed to read and could not find, written instead.
