Sara Ramsey

"I tried to hide my Anglophilia in an effort to fit in," award-winning Regency romance novelist Sara Ramsey says of her growing up years in rural Iowa. "But I drank a lot of hot black tea with sugar when everyone around me was drinking Mountain Dew, and I liked to dress up." Having first obsessed over Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, set in England at the turn-of –the-century, Sara succumbed completely upon reading Johanna Lindsey's Regency historical novels. Now, not only had she fallen for England, she'd discovered a time period with history, manners, fashion and mores she couldn't get enough of. Sara Ramsey was home. She was thirteen. It's not surprising that when Sara decided to write, she followed her heart back in time to Regency England. It may have been unexpected, however, when this Google marketing alumna with a degree from Stanford University in Symbolic Systems left her Silicon Valley job to do so. Sara's first complete manuscript earned her the prestigious Golden Heart Award in the Regency category from the Romance Writers of America. Just two years later, her second novel was one of five finalists for that same award. Now with new titles, HEIRESS WITHOUT A CAUSE* and SCOTSMEN PREFER BLONDES, ** are the first of four Muses of Mayfair novels being published as e-book originals. Sara is currently at work on her third Muses of Mayfair novel, THE MARQUESS WHO LOVED ME. Sara moved to California upon her acceptance to Stanford. Following graduation, she worked at Google in communications and advertising for seven years before electing to write full time. Now, with two books written and one in progress, award recognition, and terrific response from early reads, Sara hopes she's about to achieve her goal—"getting my books in the hands of the most readers at a compensation level that can fund my shoe budget." *then titled One Night to Scandal **then titled An Inconvenient Marriage
