Previously a teacher, pig farmer, and builder (among other things), MEREDITH WEBBER turned to writing medical romances when she decided she needed a new challenge. Once committed to giving it a ‘real’ go she joined writers’ groups, attended conferences and read every book on writing she could find. Teaching a romance writing course helped her to analyze what she does, and she believes it has made her a better writer. Readers can email Meredith at: [email protected]

Wealthy royalty!
It wasn’t that the servants at the palace where he’d grown up had bowed and scraped, but very early on he’d realised that every whim would be granted and treats of all kinds supplied, not because he’d done something to deserve them but because of who he was.
