Christina Courtenay

Christina Courtenay is a bestselling and award winning novelist of historical romance novels. She got into writing because she wanted to be a stay at home mother and take care of her two children. But she would not get published until her first daughter left the nest at twenty one years of age. Since she published “Marry in Haste,” the debut novel of the Regency Romance Collection series of novels in 2009, she has turned prolific and now has more than a dozen novels to her name. She has won the Best Fantasy Romantic Novel, Best Historical Romantic Novel and the Romantic Novel of the Year Award by RNA. Courtenay is a half Swedish half English author and spent most of her childhood in Sweden. She has also lived in Switzerland and Japan even though she now makes her home close to the Welsh border in Herefordshire.
