Author Information

Mary Balogh

 

 

Mary Balogh (1994 - ). Welsh-Canadian author of historical romances.

 

Mary Balogh (pronounced Ba-log) says wanting to be an author is a dream; wanting to be a teacher is an practical goal. That goal she could and did work toward and then, of course, marriage and motherhood intervened to take more and more time off her hands. Her youngest daughter was six years old before she felt she had enough time to take up an evening hobby--writing! She was addicted to the novels of Georgette Heyer, whom she had discovered only a few years before while working her way through a Grade XI reading list during a maternity leave. Although she can't adequately explain how enchanted she was and how transported she was into a world she had experienced before only through Jane Austen, she knew that if ever she wrote, it was that romantic world of Regency England that she wanted to recreate. And so A Masked Deception got written in longhand at the kitchen table while home and family functioned around me after the supper dishes were done.
