Born in North York, Ontario, Ingela F. Hyatt has lived with her family on the West Coast of Canada, in beautiful British Columbia, for the last 23 years. For Ingela writing is a passion that drives her to write the next story buzzing around her head, becoming thoroughly immersed in the worlds and characters she creates. Since adolescence European history has fascinated her, prompting Ingela to acquire and study a vast library on the past cultures on the British Isles and France. At the age of 14 Ingela began reading historical romance novels and has amassed an extensive collection of authors. With her love of history and writing, it was a natural progression to create her own tales. After seven years, nine manuscripts, and 128 rejections, Ingela finally sold her first book and signed a contract with Samhain Publishing in February 2006. The future’s so bright, she feels she now has to wear shades.

greatness... I would become a writer, a story teller who actually gets PAID to lie. What more could you possibly want in a career?

Writing has always been my passion, and it began in grade five when I was forced to either memorize a poem each day and recite it for the class, or write a poem and read it to the class. After reciting my first poem (The Cremation of Sam McGee) and hating it, I quickly discovered I had a talent for writing poetry and wrote about every topic under the sun, from fluffy white clouds to my big toe... *shudder* But it wasn’t long before I moved on to short stories, though I still had a habit of writing sappy love poetry which I wouldn’t touch now with a ten foot pole.

I was fourteen when I read my first romance novel, and suddenly a whole new world opened up before my eyes.But it wasn’t until the tragic death of my best friend, Carl, that I took a serious hand to writing, and completed my first fantasy novel at the age of 19. It would be a couple more years before I realized that romance was my true calling.

I LOVE history.
