Biography

Elizabeth Hunter also published as Isobel Chace and Elizabeth (Mary Theresa) de Guise. Elizabeth Hunter was her birth name, but she was known in later years as Elizabeth de Guise. Hunter/de Guise was born in Nairobi, Kenya in 1934, and spent much of her early life in Kenya and South Africa. Apparently, she took the de Guise name as her own in the early 1950s after her parents' divorce. She was a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association. de Guise passed away in 2005 at the age of 70, just before a hospice she'd founded opened [1]. Under her various pseudonyms and real name, she published more than 80 novels.

Interestingly, her brother, Alexander, has been involved in a sort of peerage scandal [2] in the UK/France. His sister, who had adopted the de Guise name, disavowed any knowledge of royal and noble connections. Her brother also, apparently, wrote Western novels.

As an author for Harlequin Romance, Elizabeth Hunter published 13 novels. She wrote 20 books for the Silhouette Romance line.
