Eloisa James

New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James’s historical novels have been published to great acclaim. A reviewer from USA Today wrote of Eloisa’s very first book that she "found herself devouring the book like a dieter with a Hershey bar"; later People Magazine raved that "romance writing does not get much better than this. "Her novels have repeatedly received starred reviews from Publishers' Weekly, and regularly appear on the best-seller lists. Her 2009 releases are This Duchess of Mine, May 26, and A Duke of Her Own, July 28, published by Avon/Harper Collins.

After graduating from Harvard University, Eloisa got an M.Phil. from Oxford University, a Ph.D. from Yale and eventually became a Shakespeare professor, publishing an academic book with Oxford University Press. Currently she is an associate professor and Director of Graduate Studies for the English Department at Fordham University in New York City. She's also the mother of two children and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.
