In this hilarious homage to Jane Austen, a lady with a penchant for trouble finds a handsome spy much more than merely tolerable.
Cindy Anstey spends her time writing and adventuring around the world. She has lived on three continents, had a monkey in her backyard and a scorpion under her sink, dwelt among castles and canals, enjoyed the jazz of Beale St and attempted to speak French. Cindy loves history, mystery and... a chocolate Labrador called Chester. Love, Lies and Spies is her debut novel. She currently resides in Nova Scotia, Canada. Contact her on Twitter at @CindyAnstey.
Praise for Love, Lies and Spies: "It's Jane Austen meets Jane
Foster in Anstey's debut novel, which serves up a delightful
combination of Regency romance, scientific curiosity, and spy
intrigue for a tale that will have readers rooting for love and
science." --Entertainment Weekly
"Love, Lies and Spies is an adorable little romp in Regency-era
London, perfectly-paced and delightfully entertaining. It had me
grinning from ear to ear, cover to cover. And the best part of all
is that it seems to be a stand-alone with none of those ridiculous
miscommunications. It really was just a pleasure to read!" --The
Starry-Eyed Revue Praise for Duels & Deception: "[Duels &
Deception] is Jane Austen spiced with action, suspense, and humor.
The question is never about their love but how they will overcome
society's demands in order to realize it. Young girls who enjoyed
Anstey's Love, Lies and Spies will snap up this adventure." --VOYA,
starred review "Jane Austen fans in need of a good new book, look
no further. Cindy Anstey's new YA novel, Duels & Deception, is your
next regency romance treat." --Entertainment Weekly "A great
introduction to historical romance novels for younger YA readers. .
. . Anstey's novel is a wonderful coming-of-age journey filled with
entertaining characters and wild adventures." --School Library
Journal
Praise for Suitors and Sabotage:
A Junior Library Guild Selection
"Anstey's tale embraces a self-reliant main character, a loyal
friend, innocent romance, witty conversation, and English country
settings, each more splendid than the last. This is a delightful
salute to Jane Austen and will be a treat for her fans." --VOYA
"Mystery and romance are delightfully intertwined . . . Taking
inspiration from Jane Austen novels, Anstey's latest is a
lighthearted and romantic read." --Booklist
