Kim Izzo
Kim Izzo has co-written two etiquette books, The Fabulous Girl’s Guide to Decorum and The Fabulous Girl’s Guide to Life. Her love of manners makes her a devoted admirer of all things Jane Austen and after spending an entire year re-reading every novel by the English superstar author, Izzo decided that she wanted to try her own hand at writing a romantic comedy. The Jane Austen Marriage Manual is her first novel and demonstrates, among other things, what a hopeless romantic she is, even if her idea of romance involves as much sky-high heels and polo players as it does manor homes and brooding bachelors.
