Bio: Annette Blair
A National Bestselling author for Penguin Books, Annette Blair left her day job as a Development Director and Journalism Advisor at a private New England prep school to become a full time writer. At thirty-five books and counting, she’s added Contemporary Cozy Mysteries and Bewitching Romantic comedies to her award-winning, Regency, Victorian, and Amish Historical Romances.
Happily married to her grammar school nemesis, Annette considers romance a celebration of life. Besides creating new stories, she loves hearing from her readers, antiquing, and collecting 19th century glass slippers.
