Dark Master by Charlotte Lamb

Biography

Charlotte Lamb is a pen name of Sheila Holland. Since 1973 she wrote over 160 books under that name, mostly category romances for Mills & Boon. Her first book, Follow A Stranger, although first published in the UK as a Hardcover, was published in Paperback in the Harlequin Romance imprint.

Known for her rapid writing and intense work habits, she rivals Nora Roberts in output. She also published work under various other names.

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!
