Daring ladies, dashing lords, and deliciously juicy gossip.
Welcome! We are eight authors of historical romance, come together here for a little fun and conversation about our favorite topic — romance! This blog is for our readers, the spiked ratafia in our lives as writers. We hope you will join us for a set (be it a decorous quadrille or a scandalous waltz), a cozy gossip, and lots of laughter. Enjoy our party!
Gaelen Foley is the NY Times and USA Today bestselling author of sixteen Regency historical romances full of passion and adventure. Her books are available in fifteen languages and have won many awards, such as the Booksellers' Best, the National Readers' Choice Award, and the Golden Leaf (three times).
Kate Noble love books. Romances especially. But, being born into a family of doctors, scientists, and mathematicians, she didn't discover she was adept at writing until, oh, about junior year of high school. Which came as something of a relief, as she was hopeless at memorizing the Latin names for all the bones in the human body. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle eludes her to this day.
Award-winning author Katharine Ashe writes delectably sexy historical romances with a touch of adventure. She's currently at work on her new Prince Catchers series, which means she gets to think about tiaras quite a lot these days and occasionally even try them on (which she calls "research").
Lady Heliotrope Beaufetheringstone (pronounced Batman) likes gossip, a man with a nice set of legs, and her parrot, Albert. She is the gracious hostess of today's ball.
Lauren Willig is the author of the bestselling Pink Carnation series. A graduate of Yale University, she has a graduate degree in English history from Harvard and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, though she now writes full time.
Lord Montague Moylan-Hazwell is the heir to Lord Beaufetheringstone's estate and a pain in Lady B's side. He has a way with the ladies, particularly authoresses.
Since publishing her first historical romance in 2009, Miranda Neville has lived the glamorous job of a romance novelist. Her life is spent lounging around in silk pajamas, nibbling bonbons and sipping champagne, while thinking about Richard Armitage look-alikes in ripped shirts.
Sabrina started writing romance the day after her wedding when she woke up with an idea for a Regency; she’s been back in the early 19th century ever since.
Sarah MacLean grew up in Rhode Island, obsessed with historical romance. Her love of all things historical helped to earn her degrees from Smith College and Harvard University before she finally set pen to paper and wrote her first book.
Tessa Dare is a disaster on the dance floor, but she’s thrilled to be part of The Ballroom! An award-winning author of seven Regency-set romances and one novella, Tessa was recently named in Booklist magazine as one of the “new stars of historical romance.”
