After years in marketing, Blythe Gifford started writing seriously after a layoff. Ten years and one layoff later, she sold to the Harlequin Historical line. Set in England and Scotland of the 14th to 16th centuries, her books usually include real historical events and characters. The Chicago Tribune called her work “the perfect balance between history and romance.” Blythe lives in Chicago and welcomes visitors to www.blythegifford.com and www.facebook.com/BlytheGifford
I've wanted to write stories ever since I learned to read! Now I've written more than 20 books in a range of historical periods and I'm still addicted to the warm fuzzy glow of romance. I live in Yorkshire with my family and one extremely hairy dog, and I've been nominated for 5 Romantic Novel Awards (I won the Libertà Books Shorter Romantic Novel Award in 2020). I also write Regency romances for Penguin YA.Twitter @JenniAuthor Insta @jennifletcherauthor
Amanda McCabe wrote her first romance at sixteen – an historical epic starring her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class! She's never since used algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, Booksellers Best, National Readers Choice Award and the Holt Medallion. In her spare time she loves taking dance classes and collecting travel souvenirs. Amanda lives in New Mexico. Email her at: amanda@ammandamccabe.com
