Description
"It all began very innocently. Truly."
The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighborhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's.
Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Proven track and marketing-savvy author: the books have already been hugely successful in the US through the author's own self-publishing; most have an average 4.8 * rating on Amazon/Kindle store. Brower has leveraged her Substack to provide a further window into the St. Crispian's world she has created in the novel, offering readers behind the scenes access to everything from her plot ideas for further novel, her writing process, even writing a monthly fictional newsletter 'The St. Crispian's Gazette'

Audience appeal: fans of writers such as Gill Hornby or Georgette Heyer will delight in the series, as well as devotees of classic writers like Austen, the Brontes, George Eliot and Louisa May Alcott. Brower's writing is full of charm and wit, with a defiant knowing-ness that plays with literary archetypes, in a wonderfully gratifying way
