Farida Mestek lives in Ukraine, but she adores Regency England, where she spends a great deal of her time. She fell in love with it the moment she saw one of the film productions on TV when she was a child, and her love and fascination grew and solidified with every Jane Austen book that she read and reread time and time again.

Having been writing all of her life, she decided to write Regency-set stories herself. She finds Regency era a fascinating time for a M/M story to take place and believes that considering how close and open with their affections men were back then it is not hard to imagine that there were true instances of friendship evolving into fancy.

In her stories she tries to explore such a possibility as well as the possibility of maintaining an effective relationship at the time while keeping its true meaning undisclosed to the world at large. Her dream is to build a Regency village, the aim of which would be to provide Regency-lovers from around the world with a veritable Regency lifestyle experience.
