Why NOT write them? The connected series is a staple of most genre fiction. Mystery series have abounded for decades, as have fantasy and science  Read More...

In the last 13 years, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries has penned 20 Regency romances, four novellas and three short stories — becoming a regular on both the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists and winning more than a dozen industry awards in the process.

New Orleans-born, Thailand-reared, Jeffries attributes her success to listening to what peers, her publisher and her own common sense told her she should be writing: "I write what I enjoy reading: lighter, sexier historical romances, with more dialogue and more sensuality."

Writing about 19th-century English life comes naturally for Jeffries. Not only is she a lifelong Jane Austen fan, but she has a doctorate in English lit from Tulane and a specialty in Early Modern British literature. Yet the impetus for her stories, Jeffries says, is always "what if" — not what if her hero likes this or that, but what if this happened and this happened ... what would it do to a person?

And she writes, she says, because "I can't not write . . . I have stories in my head, and I have to get them out."

Today, the novelist has more than 5 million Sabrina Jeffries books in print. In early 2010, she launched a new Regency series, THE HELLIONS OF HALSTEAD HALL. Book 1 featured a leftover hero from her School for Heiresses series, Lord Stoneville; THE TRUTH ABOUT LORD STONEVILLE spent five weeks on the bestseller lists. Book 2, A HELLION IN HER BED, was released September 21, followed in January 2011 by Book 3, HOW TO WOO A RELUCTANT LADY. TO WED A WILD LORD will be released November 22.

Sabrina writes at her home in Cary, N.C., where she lives with husband, Rene, and their son, Nick. When not answering e-mails as she logs miles on her treadmill or doing jigsaw puzzles ("my reward for finishing a book"), Jeffries can be found championing the cause of autistic children in the name of her son.
