Morris took up historical fiction after a career as a nutritionist. Her first novel, "Rosings Park," was written to appease Jane Austen's character Anne de Bourgh, who pestered the author for twenty years. She next wrote "Cousin Anne," a novella that examines Anne’s youthful relationship with both her cousin Mr. Darcy and the beguiling rogue George Wickham. These novels sparked her interest in body-snatching, surgery, and medicine during Jane Austen’s day and led her to write the Surgeon’s Duty series. When she’s not writing and researching, she enjoys traveling with her husband (before COVID, of course); meeting friends for coffee; reading mysteries, bestsellers, and the occasional Regency romance; and playing her digital piano (quite badly, but with pleasure).voir moins
