Bliss Bennet

Despite being born and bred in New England, Bliss Bennet has always been fascinated by the history of that country across the pond, particularly the politically volatile period known as the English Regency. So much so that she spent years writing a dissertation about the history of children’s literature in the period. Now she makes good use of all the research she did for that five-hundred-plus-page project in her historical romance writing. Bliss’s mild-mannered alter ego, Jackie Horne, muses about genre and gender on the Romance Novels for Feminists blog. Though she’s visited Britain several times, Bliss continues to make her home in New England, along with her husband, daughter, and two monstrously fluffy black cats.
