Elizabeth Keysian is a multi-award winning, USA Today bestselling author of heart-pounding Regency romances, set mostly in the West of England. She has completed a unique series for Dragonblade Publishing called Trysts and Treachery, which is set in the Tudor era. Though primarily a writer of romance, she loves to put a bit of mystery, adventure, and suspense into her stories, and refuses to let her characters take themselves too seriously.

Elizabeth likes to write from experience, not easy when her works range from the medieval to the Victorian eras. However, her passion for re-enactment has helped, as have the many years she spent working in museums and British archaeology. If you find some detail in her work you’ve never come across befor ...more

I research surnames local to the area the story is mainly set in, I think about names popular for the historical era and I also dredge up my schooldays' Latin and Roman/Greek history and mythology where some wonderful female names are to be found!

Sorry if this isn't a question about the content of your books, but a technical one: I just got "Lord of Loyalty" as kindle ebook, as it came out on Amazon Germany today. The content of the ebook is wrong, though; it's the first title of the series, "Lord of Deception". I gave the ebook back, but is there something else I could or should do as a reader?

If the sample chapters are LORD OF LOYALTY, you should try buying the book again, as it should be the correct version. If this does not work, please complain to Amazon and they will get it sorted for you. I am so sorry this has happened. I am sure you will enjoy the story when you eventually get it.(less)

Lord of Deception — Now Available as an Audiobook 🎧

I’m delighted to share some exciting news with readers who love intrigue, romance, and the deceptive glamour of the Tudor court.

Lord of Deception — the first book in my Trysts and Treachery series — is now available as an audiobook.

Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England, Lord of Deception is a story of hidden identities, divided loyalties, and a love that could prove fatal.

The first book I have read by this author and it didn’t work for me. The blurb and premise were great and I think the story might have worked on TV where you can see the actors’ faces and get visual clues, but as a book to read…just no.
