Deborah Hale is an award-winning Canadian writer of over 15 romance and fantasy novels. An avid genealogist, Hale spent ten yesr tracing her family tree to its roots in 18th century Britain. In the process, she uncovered several true romantic stories that inspired her to begin writing her first romance novel. After several years of rejections and revisions, her manuscript won the Long Historical®, Golden Heart in 1997. A few months later she sold the story to Harlequin Historical® and it was released in 1999 as My Lord Protector.

Since then Hale has written a dozen more historical romance novels as well as two novellas and two on-line serials for eHarlequin. When the company created a new fantasy fiction imprint, Luna Books®, in 2004, Hale was the first in-house author to be included in the program. She wrote two connected fantasy novels and an on-line serial for Luna.

Deborah Hale has been nominated for a number of awards including Romance Writers of America’s RITA® award for Best First Book and Romantic Times® Reviewers Choice Awards for Best First Book and Best Regency Historical of 1999. Hale’s novels have been translated into over a dozen languages and sold in more than twenty countries around the world. A member of Romance Writers of America, the Nova Scotia Writer’s Federation and the Canadian Romance Author’s Network, Hale has written many articles and presented numerous workshops on the craft and business of commerical fiction writing.
