Amelia Blackwell has a master’s degree in Creative Writing, a corn snake called Colin, and a deep love of the works of Jane Austen. Although the Boleyns appear in her family tree, it’s through marriage, not blood, which is probably just as well. Georgiana Darcy’s most persistent suitor in her novel A Crime Through Time, Baron John de Halighwell, takes his name from one of Amelia’s distant great-grandfathers, who lived in a mansion that even Lady Catherine de Bourgh would admire. She has previously published YA under Lisa Glass.

We had great fun chatting with Amelia and hearing about the ups and downs of her career as an author, including several agent changes, as well as what led to her writing her new novel, A Crime Through Time. We talk about Jane Austen, the research she did for the novel and why she wanted to tell this time-skipping story.
