LOVE THIS! Thank you!

Love this! Thanks, Maria.
I'm a HUGE Janeite and adore all things Austen. P&P has been my favourite book since I fell in love with Mr Darcy at age 11.
I knew I couldn't attempt anything on Miss Austen's level, so I wanted to do something modern and fun with the story. I'm so happy you enjoyed as it was so enjoyable to write.
I don't have any plans for more of the Austen brothers, but I'd love to do more modern twists of classics in the future.

Thanks for reading The Red Order! I do love a little walk on the dark side ;) My next three releases will be Contemp Romance (Fluffy bunny LOL), M/M romance and then a dark and twisted standalone called H.O.P.E. (hopefully towards the autumn). So, it's a YES to more dark and twisted—I could never give it up.

Thanks, Simo! Before I answer, there is one question I always ask. Who is your Mr Darcy? Is it Colin Firth or the other guy? There is only one correct answer ;)
I'm a huge Austen fan, and when I wrote The Bachelors I didn't want to mimic Jane Austen (because she's a queen!), merely let her inspire a contemporary take on P&P. Austen books are full of wonderful wit that sometimes gets overlooked, so I hoped to make The Bachelors a fun story containing that element of playful banter in a more modern way. I also loved playing with the characters and turning them on their heads.
I understand why Austen purists would not enjoy the way I wrote it, but it wasn't about trying to be Miss Austen—as that would be impossible—more having fun with a beloved story that I fell in love with when I was eleven. To hear you enjoyed it has made my day!
I won't be adding to The Bachelors or the Austen Brothers and Bennet sisters, but I would love to dip my toes into other Austen classics and let them inspire another contemporary tale. One day!
