'A lady' is, in fact, 'Lady A~'. Both are nom de plumes that were conversely and cleverly employed by Jane Austen to disguise her identity. This modern-day 'Lady A~/A Lady' not only pays homage to her literary muse in the wry anonymity of her pen name, but does so also in the purist 'Austenesque' style and genre of her work. Over a period of fifteen years she has convincingly created a unique companion collection, to JA's perfect six, of seven original novels entitled (collectively) 'The Bath Novels of Lady A~'. 'A Lady/Lady A~' has been a scholar of Jane Austen's works for over three decades and, since publishing 'Merits and Mercenaries', the first of the Bath Novel 'Classic Companions', has established a dedicated, and steadily growing, 'Janeite' fan base across the globe, spanning America to The Netherlands.
