Emma Hox has always been an avid fan of Jane Austen’s novels. Although her favorite novel, she has been disappointed in Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Bennet. Longbourn`s Unexpected Matchmaker gives the witty father of Elizabeth Bennet the personality Emma always envisioned he should truly have.
Emma is a member of the Jane Austen Society and a Jane Austen writer’s guild. She speaks to youth groups about becoming the women they dream of being, using the Jane Austen Heroines as examples. Emma explains each of the characters have personalities and flaws any female can relate to, admitting her own character match would coincidentally be Jane Austen’s Emma. She teaches the young women that each one of them has strengths and weaknesses and shows them how to learn and grow with confidence.
Emma was born and raised in the farmlands of Eastern Washington and is a graduate of Central Washington University in Ellensburg.
Married with two boys ages 5 and 2, Emma and her family love to sail and spend time on the lake on weekends. The author mostly enjoys sitting on the bow of the boat in the shade of the jib to write.

Hi! I just saw your book on Amazon and I am wondering if this story was posted on another P & P fanfiction website? I swear it was on DWG but was never finished. Please let me know because I want to buy the book. Thank you!
Kate,
You are correct, I did originally post on DWG, however I was accepted by an editor and subsequently published so I had to remove from DWG before it was finished. I am so glad that you enjoyed the story and want to get it. The book can be purchased as you said on Amazon. It is also available on Abe Books, Barnes and Nobles, Powells Books and any local bookseller by using ISBN 978-0-615-32885-0. Lastly you can get it through my website (links to the publisher).
Happy reading!
