Biography
Abigail Reynolds was raised in upstate New York. She studied Russian and theater at Bryn Mawr College and marine biology at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. After a stint in performing arts administration, she decided to attend medical school, and took up writing as a hobby during her years as a physician in private practice. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband and two children.

She began her writing career in 2001 by posting her novels on Jane Austen Fan-fiction sites on the internet, and later self-publishing them. Her works were discovered by an editor at Sourcebooks who purchased the rights to her six books. Her earliest writings were variations on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, focusing on different plot developments that might change the course of the original story, but always with the same resolution of Elizabeth Bennet marrying Mr. Darcy, a series which she later titled The Pemberley Variations.
