Joanna Challis

Joanna Challis lives in Queensland, Australia, and though
she enjoys the sun, she likes nothing better than
exploring castles in Europe. When she can't be overseas,
a picture of any castle will do to give her inspiration
for a new 'Gothic' Romance.

Joanna would like to continue the tradition of such
writers as Victoria Holt and Daphne du Maurier with her
Gothic tales set in the Victorian era. Apart from the
gothics, Joanna is also writing medieval romances. Her
advice for budding authors is to 'write the book you want
to write' and 'don't give up!'
