On Nov. 11, 2005, former high school English teacher Patricia Bracewell wrote the following words in her journal: “I have decided to write the Emma novel. I want to try it. If I fail, I fail—but if I don’t try, I can never succeed.”

On February 8, 2013, Bracewell was giving a phone interview, exhausted and exhilarated by the previous day’s launch of “the Emma novel,” an historical fiction entitled Shadow on the Crown.
