== Biography ==

[[Category:Authors - R]]
Joanne Rock turned a passion for writing into a career when imaginary characters kept her awake at night, demanding she tell their stories.  A three-time [[RITA]] nominee and author of over thirty romances in a variety of subgenres, she enjoys writing [[medieval]] historicals and sexy contemporaries along with the occasional romantic suspense.  Joanne traces her passion for all things medieval to an early brush with John Keats' poem "The Eve of St. Agnes" and a rapt fascination with the Pre-Raphaelites' depiction of medieval themes.  As a writer, she enjoys supplementing her more research-intensive trips to the Middle Ages with faster-paced contemporary stories sparked by the characters she meets in real life.  The move back and forth between very different story styles keeps her Muse singing happily.
