I have lived in the same Cornish village almost all my life.

My first book was published in 1982. After four medical and ten contemporary romances for Harlequin as Dana James published worldwide I began writing longer historical romances. The early ones ventured to foreign shores while maintaining strong Cornish links. More recent stories have been set in late C18th Cornwall with twelve published between 1999 and 2010.

After joining the RNA in the early 1990s I reached the shortlist for the Romantic Novel of the Year Award with Eye of the Wind in 2002, and was shortlisted for the Historical Prize in 2010 with Heart of Stone. 

Teaching the Craft of Novel Writing for over twenty years at various venues has been both a pleasure and a privilege, and seven of my former students are now multi-published novelists.  I contribute regularly to the Historical Romance UK blog, and have a blog page on my website. Please do drop by.

It's a fact

In 1991, founding RNA member Barbara Cartland was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
