Anne Harlowe was brought up in York, and was lucky enough to go to St Peter’s School. The city, with its rich history and magnificent cathedral, has been an important influence in her life, and has inspired some of her best work. She read English at Leeds University, and did a master’s degree dissertation entitled Jane Austen’s Heroines. Her first attempt at writing for publication was to produce a study guide for Pride and Prejudice, but after about 20 pages she got distracted by writing a short story entitled A Night at Pemberley. This was submitted to a Fan Fiction website and was well-received, encouraging her to attempt further flights of Jane Austen-related fantasy, the most popular of which are Darcy’s Dark Secret and Poet of Pemberley. Not content to hang on to the bonnet-strings of her favourite author, she began writing original works of Regency and Victorian romance, the most recent of which are Captain Cardew’s Conquests and The Romantic Adventures of a Between Maid. The study guide is still unfinished.
"Good," said Wickham, studying his reflection in the large looking-glass over the fireplace. "I used to be rather fond of angling. It's all in the bait, you see. Throw 'em a bit of juicy bait, and you've hooked 'em before you can say Jack Robinson – and with bait like this..." He caressed his elegantly-folded cravat and admired himself in the mirror.
Jane Austen described Wickham as "One of the most worthless young men in Great Britain". This book explores Wickham's worthlessness from his early days as a young rake and fortune-hunter in London, through his seduction of Georgiana Darcy in Ramsgate, to his elopement with the fifteen-year-old Lydia. It goes on to describe how he reaps what he sows in Lydia's gradual transformation into another Mrs Bennet.
