Margery Scott is the author of more than thirty historical romance novels, novellas and short stories.
Although she was born far from the American West she writes about, she grew up watching TV westerns and reading western stories. It was only natural that when she started writing, she wrote about what she loved to watch and read.
A transplanted Scot, Margery now lives in Canada with her husband. When she's not writing or traveling in search of the perfect setting for her next novel, you can usually find her either wielding a pool cue or a pair of knitting needles.
