Hello there! I'm Jane. However, I write under the pseudonym 'Isabella Catley'. :) I'm an anti-social Goth, with an obsession with tea and 18th century novels. I live in a tumbledown ex-B&B, with a massive garden crammed with animals (including a dog, cats and chickens). When other children were waiting for their letter from Hogwarts, I was waiting for Peter Pan. To be honest, I'm still waiting to give him a thimble. *winks* I identify as bicurious, but am very much in the closet outside of the Internet. I also adore old movies. In fact, I hardly ever watch live TV, preferring to cuddle up with DVDs. The username is a quote from Fairy-land. It's an Edgar Allen Poe poem.
I love fantasy novels, especially historical fantasy. I'm also very fond of 18th century woman novelists. Some of my favourite books are: The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger, Cecelia by Frances Burney, Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, Emma by Jane Austen, The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkein, The Finishing School Series by Gail Carriger, The Unladylike Adventures of Kat Stevenson by Stephanie Burgis, Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle, Camilla by Frances Burney, The Female Quixote by Charlotte Lennox, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen and many others.
Just ask me if you've got a question. :)
