Re-imagining Austen's Beloved Characters

Portrait of a Jane Austen silhouette, representing Melissa Anne, author of Pride and Prejudice variations
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
— Jane Austen

What started as a Pride and Prejudice obsession became a writing career...

Hi there! I'm Melissa Anne, an accidental author who fell down the Jane Austen rabbit hole and never wanted to leave. After devouring hundreds of Pride and Prejudice variations, I thought I could try this too—and somehow ended up publishing seven novels and a novella in just one year!

From my home in Georgia (by way of East Tennessee), I craft Regency romances that stay true to Austen's era, with one exception—my novel Finding Love at Loch Ness, where American grad student Elizabeth Bennet falls for Scottish William Darcy against the misty backdrop of Scotland.

When I'm not reimagining Darcy and Elizabeth's love story, I'm juggling life with my husband and three children, and likely thinking about my next Austen-inspired adventure.

Behind the Scenes

A Glimpse Into My Writing Life

Pride and Prejudice book covered in blue roses representative of Melissa Anne's brand colors

Curiosity is the spark behind every new chapter and each story begins with a question: "What if?". My days are filled with research, tea, and the quiet joy of reimagining Austen's world for kindred spirits. Whether outlining a fresh variation or revisiting beloved characters, I hope each page feels like a welcome invitation.

Inspiration often arrives in the gentle moments—a stroll outdoors, a cherished line from a classic, or a conversation with a fellow admirer. Here, I weave together history and heart, always striving to create something that feels both timeless and personal.
