A. Rushby (also writing as Allison Rushby), was gifted the middle name of Jane, for Jane Austen. Wordsmithing was duly destined and, under several pseudonyms, she has published more than thirty books. She has long been a fan of cities steeped in history, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, the curious and the uncanny. She prefers to write with a cup of French Earl Grey tea by her side and a cat curled up in her lap.

"Slashed Beauties by A. Rushby was so hard to stop listening to. The dual narrators, Alys in the current timeline and Eleanor in 18th century London, are distinct but both are sympathetic, funny, and compelling.
The first thing you'll see when googling" Read more of this review »
