Ingela F. Hyatt
I was born in Dunnottar Castle in Grampian, Scotland, high upon
the cliffs
over looking the turbulent North Sea. And I was betrothed to my
true love at
the tender age of twelve. I remember the first time I saw him,
riding across
the plains upon his white charger, his armour shining brilliantly
in the
noonday sun...I swear, I feared my heart would leap out of my
breast for the
love he did instill in me...
(Insert record scratch here.)
Okay, the truth of the matter is: reality sucks, and I’m a story
teller and have
been since the moment I could talk, according to my Dad. Whenever
he
caught me in a lie, I had no problem coming up with a dozen
reasons why I
painted the cat purple with green polk-a-dots, none of them true
of course,
but at least they were highly entertaining. It was at that time he
knew I was
destined for greatness... I would become a writer, a story teller
who actually
gets PAID to lie. What more could you possibly want in a career? Writing has always been my passion, and it began in grade five
when I was
forced to either memorize a poem each day and recite it for the
class, or write
a poem and read it to the class. After reciting my first poem (The
Cremation
of Sam McGee) and hating it, I quickly discovered I had a talent
for writing
poetry and wrote about every topic under the sun, from fluffy
white clouds to
my big toe... *shudder* But it wasn’t long before I moved on to
short stories,
though I still had a habit of writing sappy love poetry which I
wouldn’t touch
now with a ten foot pole. I was fourteen when I read my first romance novel, and suddenly a
whole
new world opened up before my eyes.But it wasn’t until the tragic
death of
my best friend, Carl, that I took a serious hand to writing, and
completed my
first fantasy novel at the age of 19. It would be a couple more
years before I
realized that romance was my true calling. I LOVE history. To me there is nothing like knights in shining
armour riding to
the rescue of their beautiful, spirited damsels; of swashbuckling
pirates
stealing the women of their dreams; and devilishly handsome rogues
fighting
to the death for the lovely ladies who have unwittingly stolen
their hardened
hearts...
