Eselle Teays

Eselle Teays has been an Austenphile for too many years to count. She discovered Pride and Prejudice variations and fanfiction several years ago and has read and enjoyed hundreds of them. One day, she realized that there was one angle that had not been explored. Like the researcher that she is, she jumped on it right away. The result, “Pride Under Good Regulation,” was published in 2020. She thought she would never have the inspiration to write another, but she was wrong. So far, she has written three more. Each one is her attempt to write about something that has been hitherto scarcely explored in this very much loved, well-canvassed genre.

She enjoys researching and integrating the people, places, and events of the Regency into the lives of the original cast of Pride and Prejudice characters. Since she loves Leo Tolstoy as well, readers may detect in her stories influences from "War and Peace," which is set in Russia at about the same time period as Pride and Prejudice.
