More About the Author

Writing has always been my passion, and fortunately, I never run short of ideas. As a result, my ninety novels cover a wide array of genres, including Regency romance, fantasy, romance and mystery.

My latest project has been reediting, updating and in some cases rewriting my earlier books. It's a thrill to bring books back into "print," so to speak. These include a dozen traditional Regency romances. A Lady's Point of View is priced at 99 cents for Kindle, with the others at $2.99. My contemporary romantic comedies include Old Dreams, New Dreams; Capers and Rainbows, and Unlikely Partners (also 99 cents).

I've reissued my hardcover mysteries Danger Music and The Eyes of a Stranger for Kindle. Also available are my fantasy novel Shadowlight, my supernatural thriller Echoes and my paranormal romantic thriller Touch Me in the Dark, each only $2.99.

Currently I write for Harlequin American Romance. My miniseries, Safe Harbor Medical, is set in a fertility medical center in Southern California. Although each book stands alone, there are continuing characters. The first book in the series is The Would-Be Mommy and I hope you'll share the fun. I'm a fan of Grey's Anatomy, as you'll quickly see!

You can read about all my books at www.jacquelinediamond.com, where you'll also find free writing tips. In addition, after teaching more than a hundred writing students, I've put together a book called How to Write a Novel in One (Not-so-Easy) Lesson, available only in digital format.

I hope you'll come meet me on Twitter @jacquediamond. Happy reading!

A Lady's Point of View is one of my favorite Regencies by Jacqueline Diamond, who always adds original twists and surprises to every plot. Distressingly nearsighted yet not allowed spectacles by her mother, who fears they will make her unmarriagble, Meg Linley boards the wrong coach to her exile in the country after cutting Beau Brummel unintentionally at a ball. She arrives at the country estate of Lord Bryn, mistaken for his niece and nephew's new governess. Beguiled by her attraction to Bryn and liking for the children, she stays, if only for a little while. She learns he is all but engaged to another, to find her romantic rival is so likable Meg is ashamed to be in love with Lord Bryn. Meanwhile her sister falls for the stiff Edward Cockerell, to be compromised by the portly cousin of the Incomparable determined to capture first Edward and then Lord Bryn as her second husband. Bryn is furious to be deceived by Meg, Edward likewise incensed at her sister, and both girls feel their fates are hopeless. Or are they? A delightful romp through Regency London.

Georgette Heyer fans won't be disappointed in this delightful Regency Romp by Jacqueline Diamond. Meg Linley, `a great gawk of a girl' bumbling through the ton without the aid of eyeglasses, makes her way to the estate of the Marquis of Bryn. Masquerading as the governess, she easily wins the hearts of his two young mischievous wards, but the heart of the Marquis turns cold when he discovers her nearsighted duplicity. For those who love Jacqueline Diamond's witty and clever romances, A Lady's Point of View, is a must read.
