Anyone know this gal or her author name?

It's always good to hear intelligent women speak of fanfic, hurrah!
The reportage touches upon the pros and cons of Amazon's new foray into fanfic-for-profit, but it is not an in-depth discussion.
IN other writing/film news: Death Comes to Pemberley, which is basically Jane Austen fanfic, is being made into a film, with Matthew Rhys as Darcy. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10081280/Matthew-Rhys-to-revive-Colin-Firths-Mr-Darcy.html
Anyone know this Mr. Rhys? He is in an FX show called 'The Americans'.
And, finally, a 'cash-strapped' computer programmer in the UK, Seth Patrick, just got £750,000 (about $1.5million) for his debut crime novel. Woo hoo for first time novelists! Film rights have been sold, too. When asked who he wants to play the lead, he commented: 'My wife is keen on Robert Pattinson.' LOL. Me too, honey. Link to The Sunday TImes article
