Emma Hox has always been an avid fan of Jane Austen’s novels. Although
her favorite novel, she has been disappointed in Pride and Prejudice’s
Mr. Bennet. Longbourn's Unexpected Matchmaker gives the witty father of
Elizabeth Bennet the personality Emma always envisioned he should truly
have.

Emma is a member of the Jane Austen Society and a Jane Austen
writer’s guild. She speaks to youth groups about becoming the women they
dream of being, using the Jane Austen Heroines as examples.  She teaches the young women that each one of them
has strengths and weaknesses and shows them how to learn and grow with
confidence.
