Linda Berdoll

Texan Linda Berdoll is author of the wildly popular Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife. While researching the Regency era, she came across so many unusual and hilarious euphemisms that she had to share them. In doing so, she has taken a stand against the overuse of four-letter words, offering (if one is disposed to need it) an equally insulting term that will not make your Grandma swoon.
