Writing character driven romance, because when you fall in love, the world falls away

I’m Shannon Gilmore, a multi-award-winning author of historical romance. My Ruined Rakes series won the Silver Quill® award and was nominated for the Golden Heart® from Romance Writers of America. I fell in love with historical romance reading Johanna Lindsey, Judith McNaught, and Julie Garwood—and I like to think it even helped me find my husband. When I’m not creating stories of heroes with soft hearts, I enjoy crafting, quilting, and playing video games. Most of all, I love sharing my stories with readers like you—you make writing a joy!
