About the author

Okay, I admit it. I am an anglophile. And while I’m in the confessing mood, I’ll also admit that I devour Regency Romance novels. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a no-nonsense, independent type with a barely discernible feminine side. But I am a sucker for the understated romance, the English stiff upper lip and the snappy dialogue ala Jane Austen. No overt sex, no bodice ripping, just a good, clean story with great dialogue with an undercurrent of passion. If there is a duke or duchess or even a commoner, a strong female heroine, an equally strong, but not overbearing male hero and the chance of some romantic entanglements, I’m all for it. I like it so much; I decided to write a traditional regency romance novel myself, "Her Grace in Disgrace...and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you enjoy it, too!
