About The Author

Cynthia Moore grew up in a small, southern California beach town. While many hours were spent lying on the sand, she always had a book in hand or a paperback tucked inside a bag ready to pull out and read after a quick splash in the waves. Cynthia discovered British literature as a teenager. After reading most of the Victorian classics, she was introduced to English Regency period novels in 1987. It was love at first read. Since that time, Cynthia has read over four thousand fiction novels and owns over one hundred research books about the fascinating era. She is extremely proud to have several published short stories set during the Regency and resides in Southern California with her dog who is, not surprisingly, named Austen.
