ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My passion for historical romance began long before I ever started writing. I’ve always loved history and experiencing other cultures. When I lived in Europe during my childhood, I made a magical discovery. Fairytale castles really do exist. My imagination would never be the same.

Author Jane Austen has had the greatest influence on my writing. I was first introduced to her work when I visited her home, Chawton House, in England where historic mansions and gardens made an impression on me. The first romance book I read was Pride and Prejudice, which I loved, but my inspiration came from Austen's last novel Persuasion, an eloquent portrayal of two characters and their second chance at love, the theme that's also at the heart of my novel.
