After a heroic attempt to be an English major forever, Loretta Chase stoically accepted her degree but kept on reading and writing. As well as working in academe, she had an enlightening if brief life in retail and a Dickensian six-month experience as a meter maid. In the course of moonlighting as a corporate video scriptwriter, she succumbed to the charm of a producer, who lured her into writing novelsтАФand marrying him. The union has resulted in what seems like an awful lot of books and quite a few awards, including the Romance Writers of AmericaтАЩs Rita. Heralded as тАЬ...the long awaited successor to Georgette HeyerтАЭ by Library Journal, Loretta ChaseтАЩs historical romance novels have been published all over the world.
