Lucy M. Loxley, the nom de plume for the author of Her Humble Admirer, has devoured everything Jane Austen and Regency she can get her hands on since her college days. Her favorite film adaptation of Austen is the BBC’s Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds. This is her first Regency Romance, and she was pleased that the novella received 4.5/5 stars in review at InD’tale Magazine. She applies her MFA in creative writing to her teaching, writing, editing, and photography careers, where she savors making art and sharing craft conversations with like-minded creators from all over the world.
