 I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a master's degree in Secondary Education in English. I count my biggest accomplishment as earning my Master's Degree before I turned thirty. My second biggest accomplishment was having my husband (a complete non-reader) read my work in progress and not only not get bored, but actually ask me when I would have more for him to read. My long time dream is to be a published writer. I am hard at work to make that dream come true. I am married and have two very interesting, although sometimes psychotic, cats. ...

ARK Evans No books.
Bronwen Evans 3 Books
 I'm a proud reader and writer of Romance! Any romance, but historical romance in particular, and the Regency period is my favorite. I live in Wellington, New Zealand and I'm one of five sisters - and I am a twin! So no surprise that my first book is about twins! I love immersing myself in love stories full of passion, desire and of course the happing ever after. But that's not to say they don't have a number of hurdles to overcome along the way. In my stories I have the rich playboy who just happens to be a Lord of the realm, with the ahead of their time feminist, who bucks Society's conventions and gives the hero a run for his money. In particular, I love the dark, tortured souls, who don't think they deserve love or are, like most men in my stories, scared of love. My heroes are strong, alpha males with tortured pasts. They need the love of a good woman to save them and my heroine's are up for the task. They are not, sit back and let men run their lives, women. They grab life, shake ...
