The
Medieval period had very clearly defined conventions, social structure and
strict codes of behaviour, and transgressing these had real, life threatening
consequences. Not for my characters the
genteel Regency ballroom and risk of being ‘cut’ by the Ton. Put a foot wrong
in my world and you’ll find yourself on the wrong end of the sword not a
snapping fan! It was a time of conquest
and conflict, tournaments and battles. Life
was harsh and dangerous, life expectancy was low but the period gave rise to
the code of chivalry and some of the greatest architecture still standing.
Author Biography
Elisabeth’s writing career began
when she entered her first novel, Falling
for Her Captor, into Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest. She finished in third place and was offered a
two book contract. She has since written
five novels for Harlequin Mills & Boon with settings and eras ranging from
the turbulent events of post-Conquest Cheshire to the thrilling tournaments of
thirteenth century York.
As well as writing Elisabeth is a
part time teacher and full time mum to two children. She spends whatever spare
time she has reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book.
Elisabeth's other hobbies include horse riding, skiing, Arabic dance, fencing and exploring dreadful tourist attractions, none of which has made it into a story yet. She loves ginger mojitos, historical fiction and has a fondness for dark haired, bearded heroes.
