By any standard, Jennifer Blake (aka Patricia Maxwell for
her early books) is a truly successful author of historical romance. She writes
the stories that do not lose their luster with the passing of time. Not
surprisingly, she has been called a “pioneer of the romance genre” and an “icon
of the romance industry.” But don’t think she is just an icon of the past. Oh,
no. Her romances will thrill the new reader as well as her longtime fans. She
writes keepers!
A New York Times and international best selling author since
1977 with her first novel, Love’s Wild
Desire (reviewed on my blog this week), Jennifer is a charter member of Romance Writers of America, member
of the RWA and Affaire de Coeur Halls of Fame, and recipient of the RWA
Lifetime Achievement RITA.
Jennifer holds numerous other honors, including two
“Maggies,” two Holt Medallions, multiple Reviewer’s Choice awards, the Career
Achievement Award from Romantic Times Book Reviews Magazine, and the Frank
Waters Award for literary excellence.
She has written more than 65 novels with translations in 20
languages and more than 30 million copies in print worldwide. Jennifer and her
husband live on a lake in northern Louisiana (which explains the settings for
some of her wonderful novels!).
Jennifer
