edit data

Barry S. Richman combines his background in the armed forces and expertise with a passion for Pride and Prejudice retellings.

After two decades of exploring countless stories from the JAFF universe, his wife challenged him to try writing one. During a trip to Istanbul, Barry wrote four pages that wove his real-world experiences into alternate-universe stories inspired by Jane Austen’s characters. He continued from there.

He published his first novel, Doubt Not, Cousin, in 2023, followed by The Scarred Duchess in 2024.

Follow The Drum continues his military-influenced alternate universe populated by characters familiar and new.

Barry and his “Jane Bennet” divide their time between Los Angeles and a seaside town in southwestern Turkey.
