About the author

Jude Knight

<p>Have you ever wanted something so much you were afraid to even try? That was Jude ten years ago.<br/><br/>For as long as she can remember, she's wanted to be a novelist. She even started dozens of stories, over the years.<br/><br/>But life kept getting in the way. A seriously ill child who required years of therapy; a rising mortgage that led to a full-time job; six children, her own chronic illness… the writing took a back seat.<br/><br/>As the years passed, the fear grew. If she didn't put her stories out there in the market, she wouldn't risk making a fool of herself. She could keep the dream alive if she never put it to the test.<br/><br/>Then her mother died. That great lady had waited her whole life to read a novel of Jude's, and now it would never happen.<br/><br/>So Jude faced her fear and changed it--told everyone she knew she was writing a novel. Now she'd make a fool of herself for certain if she didn't finish.<br/><br/>Her first book came out to excellent reviews in December 2014, and the rest is history. Many books, lots of positive reviews, and a few awards later, she feels foolish for not starting earlier.<br/><br/>Jude write historical fiction with a large helping of romance, a splash of Regency, and a twist of suspense. She then tries to figure out how to slot the story into a genre category. She's mad keen on history, enjoys what happens to people in the crucible of a passionate relationship, and loves to use a good mystery and some real danger as mechanisms to torture her characters.<br/><br/>Dip your toe into her world with one of her lunch-time reads collections or a novella, or dive into a novel. And let her know what you think.</p>
