Chris Corbett is a history graduate recently retired after a lifetime in Market Research and Distribution his devotion to Jane Austen inspired him to write the 'Lucy' adventures! He is also the published author of 'Marguerite' a biography of Queen Margaret of Anjou and 'Vixen of the Brigantes' a historical novel set in Roman Britain. Other interests are football gardening astronomy and his black cat 'Elinor Lucy'! 

​

Chris's choice of naming his black cat 'Elinor Lucy' is a hat tip to his two favourite characters from the Jane Austen novel "Sense and Sensibility." Elinor Dashwood and Lucy Steele, prominent figures in Austen's narrative, seem to have left a lasting impact on Chris, influencing even the naming of his feline companion.

 

This personalised touch not only reflects Chris's deep connection to literature but also adds a charming layer to his everyday life, where the fictional world of Austen seamlessly intertwines with the reality of his affectionate pet. 'Elinor Lucy' becomes not just a cat but a living homage to the beloved characters who have left an indelible mark on Chris's literary journey.
