Meriel Fuller spent her early childhood with her nose buried in books. After school, she would walk to the town library where her mother was head librarian and happily read her way through the historical romance section. Although Meriel had always written as a hobby, it was only when her youngest child was a toddler that she decided to write a historical romance of her own and was thrilled when Harlequin told her that her manuscript would be published: a real dream come true!
