Biography

Charlotte Lamb, or Sheila Holland (her real name), was born in 1937 and wrote over 150 books. Charlotte Lamb wrote 103 books for the Harlequin Presents imprint. As an author for the Harlequin Romance imprint, she published twelve novels.

Known for her rapid writing and intense work habits, she rivals Nora Roberts in output. She also published work under the following names: Victoria Woolf, Laura Hardy, Sheila Lancaster, Sheila Holland, and Sheila Coates.

Charlotte Lamb passed away in October 2000. Lamb's daughter, Jane Holland, maintains a blog/website devoted to her mother's work. Upon the death of Lamb's friend, Anne Weale, Jane Holland noted that her mother's prodigious output was not limited to fiction:

Charlotte Lamb and Anne Weale were both compulsive letter-writers, and after the invention of the fax machine (though before email became popular) they would fax each other sharp, witty, and incredibly detailed multi-page letters on a daily basis. Indeed, it was not unusual for them to send and receive these lengthy faxes several times in a single morning, knocking a topic like romance editing, the latest bestsellers, cover images for a new book, or even some hot publishing gossip back and forth like a couple of top-notch literary tennis players! I'm sure if my mother had lived to see the widespread use of email, their daily correspondence would have taken on new and even more epic proportions!
