About the Author

Born in England, Jean Gorman received her Bachelor's degree in Physics and had a far from ill-spent youth, wandering Europe. She made a home in an ancient Welsh school and revelled in the history and castles of the country. A keen white-water kayaker, beekeeper and gardener, she became the editor of a small town journal. A graduate of London, Surrey and Massey Universities, she now writes full time from home in an olive grove in New Zealand.
Her novels are epic adventures set in King Richard the Lionheart's reign. The history and medieval settings are well-researched, the stories tense and romantic with a twist of humour.
