Muriel Jensen

Muriel Jensen always wanted to be a writer. She grew up in an industrial town in southeastern Massachusetts populated with wonderful and interesting people. They fill her head now as she creates characters for romance novels. Her family moved to Los Angeles when she was ten.

She and her husband adopted three children in 1973 after moving to Oregon. Suddenly she had many new priorities, but she couldn’t shake the need to write down the scenarios in her head. She worked on them at night while the children watched television.

Muriel Jensen sold her first book, Winter's Bounty, to Harlequin American Romance in 1983 and has gone on to publish over seventy romance novels. She discovered a love of romance fiction by reading the works of such romance luminaries as Lilian Peake, Anne Hampson, Margaret Way, and Violet Winspear.
