Produktbeschreibung
A modern-day matchmaker's happily-ever-after bubble is about to burst in the second novel in this charming series of love and all its misadventures. Sophie Johnson appears to be living the perfect life. She has landed her dream job as managing director of The Jane Austen Dating Agency and is dating the world's most desirable man, Darcy Drummond. But all is not as it seems. The relationship with Darcy is failing to live up to expectations and his awful mother is determined to cause trouble. To add to Sophie's problems, the agency is struggling to attract enough eligible men, she has a Regency wedding to plan, and then there's the amusing and disturbingly cute Henry Baxter who is making it hard for her to concentrate. The problem is Sophie wants it all, but in trying to manage everything, she's in danger of losing what matters most. Can she keep the dating agency afloat and find her own happy ever after? Or is business and romance an impossible combination? Praise for The Jane Austen Dating Agency "There were some wonderful surprises . . . Those, particularly Janeites, who enjoy light women's fiction blended with romantic comedy would be the target group for this one." -Austenprose "The Jane Austen Dating Agency may resemble the stories of both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility at times but Fiona Woodifield has done a remarkable job of twisting these well-known plots into a very modern love story all of her own." -Travelling Book Junkie
Autorenporträt
As a young child, Fiona spent hours reading, curling up with a book was one of her favourite past times. Her current volume would accompany her everywhere, to school, on daytrips, holidays and visits. The idea of providing an imaginary world in which others can escape is a wonderful one and this became Fiona’s dream, to become a published author. From an early age, Fiona’s parents encouraged her writing – commencing when they gave her a simple red lined exercise book. Soon she had a collection of notebooks, small, large, plain, The Snowman, Brambly Hedge, they all became full of her jottings. Years later, Fiona studied for a Combined Arts Degree at Durham, then a Masters in English – writing her thesis on Jane Austen and Masculinity. In total contrast she went to work for a top fashion magazine in London, then various marketing posts. Four lovely daughters later, during which time she has graduated from laughing at Mrs Bennet to sympathising with her, she continued to scribble away, only the notebooks are somewhat bigger. Fiona has written for national magazines on diverse subjects from Jane Austen to caravanning! One morning the idea came to her for ‘The Jane Austen Dating Agency’ and this was the first book she just had to write. Fiona obviously loves writing, especially romantic comedy, meeting with friends and family, dancing, walks by the sea and escaping into a book whilst consuming a worrying amount of chocolate.
