Mary Jean Adams

I read my first romance novel in seventh grade, and I've been hooked ever since. While other kids struggled to figure out what to write in their English journals, I tried my hand at a soap opera. I can still remember the "inappropriate" my English teacher wrote across the top of the page in red ink. Trust me, my seventh-grade imaginings were nothing like the romance novels of today! With historical romance novels, I've been able to combine my first love with my second--American history. My area of greatest interest is the period of the American founding between the French and Indian War and the War of 1812. I'm also intensely interested in The French Revolution and one of my novels, Willing Love, begins in Paris during the Reign of Terror. I like to think my novels harken back to the traditional historicals of the 70s and 80s, but without some of the less appealing baggage, e.g., bodice ripping and all-too-perfect heroines. My heroes are strong, but with a softer side that they aren't afraid to share with the women in their lives. My heroines are determined women with a mind of their own. I hope you enjoy reading about their lives as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
