Saucy opinions like "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has no pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid." won Suzan Lauder, who thought, "I have to read more by this woman who writes with such snarky humour!" And another Jane Austen fanatic was captured in the clever dead author's net. As a lifetime member of JASNA, Jane Austen has inspired her writing, as all her books are Regency romances. Her publisher is Meryton Press.
Lauder's latest book is a chaste, traditional Regency romance novella called "Secret Affairs." It's the third book in the "Cecilia's Mismatches" series, where the first book, "An Accomplished Woman," was an Amazon Hot New Release. She also has six other novels, all based on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," several of which won awards or places on top ten lists. Lauder's "Letter from Ramsgate" was an Amazon bestseller in two categories and #8 in Regency Romance on Amazon. The overall reader favourite is the Special Anniversary Edition of "Alias Thomas Bennet."
Lauder's fascination with the Regency period inspired a creative blog series, the "Thrift Shop Regency Costume Experiment." Her blog series, "Learning from my Mistakes," shares writing tips gathered from experiences as well as her work as a beta and editor for a number of self-published books including a popular bestselling Austen Variations and independent authors, as an editor for award winning and bestselling Meryton Press authors, and her experience as a prolific Austenesque reader of both published and unpublished fan fiction.
Lauder and Mr. Suze alternate homes in a Vancouver Island condominium overlooking the Salish sea and a small Spanish colonial house in Mexico purchased for the benefit of a spoiled rescue tabby cat, who supervises her projects.
