Linore Rose Burkard is the creator of “Inspirational Romance for the Jane Austen Soul.” Her books take you back in time to experience life and love during the Regency in England (circa 1800 – 1830). Fans of historical romance or regencies love Linore’s blend of wit, adventure and romance, set against a backdrop of Regency elegance and dashingly accurate historical detail. A deft stroke of
Christian inspiration finishes the mix for heart-warming happy endings that leave
Fans highly satisfied.
Ms. Burkard’s novels include Before the Seasons Ends and The House in Grosvenor Square (coming April, 2009). The Country House Courtship will follow to make The Regency Series with Harvest House Publishers a trilogy. Linore’s books give a mini-vacation, a time-travel feel, while assuring readers that God is involved in daily life, and that happy endings are possible for everyone! Readers experience a romantic age, where timeless lessons still apply to modern life. Her monthly newsletter captivates readers with little-known facts, period illustrations, and historical insights.
Publisher’s Weekly affirms, “Ms. Burkard’s command of period detail is impressive, evident in material details, but also in dialogue. Her novels even help non-Regencyphiles learn the difference between ladies’ pelisses and spencers…On the whole, it’s a tasty confection.”
Ms. Burkard began writing when she couldn’t find a Regency romance with an inspirational twist. “There were Christian books that approached the genre,” she says, “But they fell short of being a genuine Regency. I knew that women want stories that are historically authentic while offering glimpses of God’s involvement in our lives. So, I gave up waiting and decided to write one myself."
Ms. Burkard was raised in New York, where she graduated magna cum laude from the City University of New York with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature. She lives with her husband and five children in a town full of antique stores and gift shops in southwestern Ohio. Her hobbies include working on new Regency novels, family movie nights, decorating, swimming, baking and gardening. For more information visit http://www.LinoreRoseBurkard.com
