Mr. Knightley in His Own Words
Mr. George Knightley. According to Emma Woodhouse, you won't see one in a hundred who is so clearly the gentleman. Respected by all, he's kind, unpretentious, and scrupulously honest, with an air so remarkably good that it's unfair to compare other men to him. We also know he's been his "own master" from a young age. But Jane Austen tells us little more.

What were his early years like, and how did he lose his parents? A man in his mid-thirties, he must have had at least one romance along the way. Did it end badly? Is that why he's never married? When and how did his relationship with Emma shift from friendship to love? And what can explain his incredible forbearance towards the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse? Now, Mr. Knightley reveals these answers and more in His Own Words.

This is not a variation from but a supplement to the original story of Emma, chronicled in the hero's point of view. Two-thirds completely new material, it features key events in Mr. Knightley's past – events that still haunt him and yet have shaped who he's become, the superior man Emma can't help falling in love with.

About the Author

Shannon Winslow claims she was minding her own business when an ordinary trip to Costco fifteen years ago changed her life. That’s the day a copy of the ’95 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice fairly leapt off the shelf and into her oversized shopping cart. She has been hopelessly hooked on all things Jane Austen ever since, her obsession ultimately inspiring her to begin writing her own Austenesque stories.

Winslow approaches writing JAFF a little differently from most, adding onto rather than varying from canon, giving us prequel, sequel, and supplemental views of favorite characters. Her 2011 debut novel, The Darcys of Pemberley, quickly become a best seller, praised for its authentic Austen style and faithfulness to the original characters. Eleven more novels and a Jane Austen Devotional have since followed, with no end to her creative output in sight.

Her two sons now grown, Shannon lives with her husband in the log home they built in the countryside south of Seattle, where she writes and paints in her studio facing Mr. Rainier. Visit Shannon at her website/blog: Shannon Winslow’s “Jane Austen Says…” and follow her on Facebook.
