Brenda Hiatt began writing in 1988, an Army wife at home with two preschool children. She promised herself that if
nothing sold before her youngest began school she'd get a "real job," so she was thrilled to sell a Regency romance
novel to Harlequin six months ahead of that deadline. Originally from Virginia, Brenda received degrees in Biology and Psychology
from the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, before attending graduate school at Texas A&M University. She
has since lived in Hawaii, South Carolina, Texas, and now Indiana.
Brenda now writes full time and lives in Indianapolis with her husband and two daughters. To date, she has published
six Harlequin Regency Romances, one Harlequin Superromance, two single title historical romances with HarperCollins and six
historical romances with Avon Books. Brenda's first single title historical romance, SCANDALOUS VIRTUE, received rave reviews
in Publisher's Weekly and other media and was named Best Romance Novel of 1999 by the American Book Readers Association.
She prides herself on her thorough historical research, and when she takes a break from the past, Brenda embraces the future
by teaching writing classes on the Internet.
An active member of Romance Writers of America since 1990, Brenda participates every year in RWA's Readers for Life
Literacy Autographing, which since 1990 has raised over $300,000 for adult literacy. Brenda has also served as President of
Novelists, Inc, an international organization of over 600 multi-published novelists.
