About me:
Can you tell from the headline that I write historical fiction? After too many Cambridge winters shivering in the stacks of Harvard's library, I decided to enliven my studies with... well, you might call it a creative reconstruction of the past. It seemed infinitely more amusing to write about dashing Napoleonic spies in the style of the Scarlet Pimpernel than to actually work on my dissertation. I still don't have that PhD, but my first two books, "The Secret History of the Pink Carnation" and "The Masque of the Black Tulip" are both out in print, with a third, "The Deception of the Emerald Ring", to follow in November. For more info on the books and for the official bio, check out my webpage at www.laurenwillig.com.

Who I'd like to meet:
My readers, of course! And anyone else who loves fiction and history-- I'm always on the lookout for new books, so if anyone has any recommendations....
