About the author
The real Constance Kent lived to be 100 years old. Though she was tried and convicted of murder when she was a teenager, she managed to escape the noose. I think she did it and I believe I know why, although her guilt remains an enduring mystery to armchair sleuths.
I haven't killed anyone - except in books. In finding my romance-footing, I've lurched from small town romantic comedy set in 1987 to an erotic medieval romance series set in the time of King John, then off on a steamy series of Victorian gothic romance and suspense. There are some short contemporary romances in there as well as a Gilded Age novella series. Ravenswood Hall is a new more-mystery-less-steam historical romance series set in 1919 Maine.
