Leenie Brown

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).

  1. That painting is gorgeous and well thought out. The shadows, and the way the light falls, captivated me. It looks as though someone was called away and would be coming back soon, and they were not happy about it. Surely one would not normally stab a pen into a sheet of parchment that way! The feather on the quill is extraordinary. I have birds, and have often seen feathers like that when they are moulting. The attention to detail is staggering. I loved the very old, much used books in the background, with the leather wearing off the binding. The grain of the wood on the table shows too. There are so many stories this picture could tell. The pen stabbing the paper could be an angry Darcy. He bellows, “Wickham” and stabs his pen into the paper.

  2. What a lovely picture. I think it is the lighting that sets the tone for the photo. I love it… well done.
