Emma Darcy

Emma Darcy was the pseudonym for the husband-and-wife writing team of Frank and Wendy Brennan. The couple sold over 60 million books during a career that spanned from 1983 through 1995. After the death of Frank Brennan, Wendy Brennan continues to write as Emma Darcy.

After being introduced in August 1984 with A World Apart by Mills & Boon in a New Authors Pack, Emma Darcy has written more than 90 books for the various Mills & Boon and Harlequin imprints. Wendy Brennan has also published murder mysteries as Emma Darcy.

The Romance Writers of Australia established the Emma Darcy Award in 1993. With a cash prize and guarantee of getting a manuscript in front of an editor, the prize has acquired great cachet in Australia. Author Tracy Cooper-Posey was the first recipient of the award. Other entrants include Bronwyn Jameson, Fiona Brand, Melissa James, and Nalini Singh.
