Jessica Steele is the pen name of Marcia Glennys Howell Steele. Born 1933 in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, she left school aged 14 due to being diagnosed as having tuberculosis. She worked as a junior clerk before marrying and moving to Worcestershire, where she still lives with her husband and her gorgeous dog. It was her husband who first prompted her to try writing, and encouraged her to keep on trying after the first rejections.

Her first book (Spring Girl) was published by Mills & Boon in Hardcover in 1979. Like some of her earlier novels, it was only published as a Harlequin Romance in North America but was never available in Paperback by Mills & Boon. Other titles were released in the Mills & Boon Romance imprint years after the North American edition, although first published by Mills & Boon in Hardcover.

She likes to do research in the country she intends to set a novel. With the exception of Uruguay she travelled to all, which took her to places as far apart as Siberia and Egypt.
