Ann Lethbridge grew up in England where she majored in History and Business. She has always loved the glamorous if rather risky Georgians and in particular the Regency Era as drawn by Georgette Heyer. It was that love that prompted her to write her own first Regency novel in 2000. She found she enjoyed it so much, she just couldn’t stop.

Ann moved to Canada in her twenties where she now lives with her husband and two lovely daughters. She writes full-time after recently giving up a career in university administration to focus on her first love, writing novels.

While she writes, Ann enjoys the company of her Maltese Terrier, Teaser, she and husband Keith found at the dog shelter. He thinks it is mint that she stays home all day with him as he curls up under her feet or on the couch. He is most indignant when she has to go shopping and leave him behind.

While Ann lives in Canada, she still have lots of family in England and travels back there with her husband once a year to see everyone. It is also a great opportunity to undertake research and seek out those special little nooks and crannies in Britain that bring her stories to life.

Ann’s first book with Harlequin The Rake’s Inherited Courtesan will be out in April 2009 and has already garnered praise in several contests for unpublished authors. She will be attending the RWA conference in July 2008, and the Sweet and Spicy conference in Ottawa in September 2008. If you would like to contact Ann you may do so at [email protected] . She loves to hear from readers.
