Born in California and raised in the Midwest, Carrie Lofty found the love of her life in England. She earned her BA in English and history from Bowling Green State University, and then her master’s in history from Ohio State University with a thesis on the impact of Old West legends on post-Civil War society. She’s a recovering historian!
Carrie’s romances have been praised as “inventive” (Dear Author), “shattering” (Nights & Weekends), and “intelligent” (Smart Bitches). Her debut, WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS (Zebra: 12/08), is the hot, adventurous tale of Will Scarlet and his dangerous lady love. The sequel, SCOUNDREL’S KISS (Zebra: 01/10), pits a Spanish warrior monk against the troubled English translator he’s sworn to protect. Carrie writes fulltime, guides two precocious daughters through their elementary years, and manages Unusual Historicals (http://unusualhistoricals.blogspot.com), the multi-author blog she founded in 2006 to celebrate romances set in unusual times and places.
