Biography

Jean S. MacLeod began publishing with Mills & Boon in 1938. Her debut novel was Life For Two. She also published under the name Catherine Airlie. She was born in 1908 in Scotland, and currently makes her home in Yorkshire.

In a 2009 interview with The Daily Mail[1], MacLeod recounted an encounter with author Barbara Cartland:

Mrs MacLeod was a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and as a result, knew famed romance novelist Barbara Cartland.

She said: 'Mills & Boon always had a champagne tent on Ladies' Day at Ascot for their authors. One year, Barbara sauntered over and dismissively asked, "Wearing the same outfit twice, Jean? Are things really that hard?"

'I didn't dignify it with a response - she was known for her sharp remarks.'

As an author for Harlequin Romance, Jean S. MacLeod published 55 novels.
