Deb Stratas

I tell well-researched and highly readable stories about powerful women in extraordinary circumstances. Readers are transported to other times and places, inspired to be authentic in their own lives.

As a proud British royalist, I've been fascinated with the English monarchy - from the early days of the War of the Roses, through the Tudor era, the trials and triumphs of England during World War II, and the current royal House of Windsor.

In researching England, I've developed a strong passion for the brave women of World War II. What they did was nothing short of heroic - sending their husbands and sons off to fight, dealing with rationing, long queues, and the terror of bombing and its aftermath while looking after the home. And starting in

Rachel Dove

I am a wife, mother of two boys, avid reader and writer of words. I sometimes sleep, always have eye bags and dream of retiring to a big white house in Cornwall, with 2 shaggy dogs, drinking wine on my seafront balcony whilst creating works of romantic fiction. All done with immaculate make up and floaty dresses.

In the meantime I nearly always remember to brush my hair, seldom have time to look in a mirror and write many, many to-do lists. I write fast paced sexy medical romances for Mills & Boon, and contemporary fiction and romantic comedies for HQ Digital and Boldwood Books. I always have a few books in progress, and am always jotting down new shiny ideas to torment myself with.

I was born in the quaint town of Bingley, England. History enthusiasts might recognise it as ‘The Throstles Nest of Old England,’ a name mentioned in the formidable Domesday Book.

Bingley is also just a short distance from Haworth, the beloved home of the Brontë sisters. My preferred among them is Charlotte, the brilliant author of Jane Eyre – one of my all-time favourite books. I have a passion for reading and watching anything that features dark, brooding, gothic Victorian mansions. Many evenings, I find myself escaping into the gothic world through books, movies, or TV series.

As a child, I dreamed of evoking emotions in others, and what better way to do that than by becoming a singer or actress? However, my innate shyness posed a challe

There came a point, however, where I decided it was time to set down some roots. At about this time, I started to dabble in writing again. In 2013, I joined the Romantic Novelists Association and had my first novel, a romantic drama, 'The Season for Love', published in December 2017; then took a time out.
'A Wing and a Prayer', book 1 in the 'Broken Wings' series, is my first Historical Saga. With my longstanding love of history, this seemed a genre ready made for myself.
