Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Beautiful picture. What are these guys up to?
They are up to some interesting stuff as planned. 😀
Imagine, people living in, and using those beautiful rooms and not really seeing how spectacular they were, because that’s what everything looked like. Modern home libraries are not that ornate anymore, but our treasures are on the shelves, and on our Kindles!
It’s amazing how we become used to the things that we have and don’t consider how wonderful they are, isn’t it? I can’t imagine taking all of those lovely details of that house as “normal,” but then there are some who would think our “normal” things are pretty wonderful, which is kind of weird to think about. I like the term treasure for books 🙂
