Antonia Falk

After twenty years of dedicated historical romance readership (and a lifetime of anglophilia), Antonia Falk found herself weary of dukes and earls and impossibly perfect young ladies. After much dissatisfaction (and whining) she realized: be the change you wish to see in the world. She (eventually) set herself to the task, writing books filled with the messy, complicated, real characters that could believably inhabit the muck and charm of Victorian England, and find their own happily ever after–even as members of the middling classes.

In another life she was a librarian, and in an even earlier iteration, she played bass guitar in a garage band. She currently lives in Northern Arizona with her family. When not furiously researching two-centur

As a child she despised reading, but thanks to her mother’s love and persistence, she saw the error of her ways and developed a deep and abiding obsession with books. Currently, she writes sweet historical romance and fantasy, but as a lover of many genres, she plans to explore more in the future.

Jenny Hambly

I love history and the Regency period in particular. I grew up on a diet of Jane Austen, Charlotte and Emile Bronte, and Georgette Heyer.

I now write traditional Regency romance novels. I like to think my characters, though flawed, are likeable, strong, and true to the period. Rosalind is the first in my Bachelor Brides series. Sophie and Katherine complete the series. The books are linked by characters introduced in each. They can be read as stand-alone novels, but are best read in order.

I live by the sea in Plymouth, England with my partner, Dave. I like reading, sailing, wine, getting up early to watch the sunrise in summer, and long quiet evenings by the wood burner in our cabin on the cliffs in Cornwall in winter.
