Rose Lerner discovered Georgette Heyer when she was thirteen, and wrote her first historical romance a few years later. Her writing has improved since then, but her fascination with all things Regency hasn't changed. Her beloved Regency small-town series, Lively St. Lemeston, has been featured in NPR’s 2016 Book Concierge and Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2014. Rose’s most recent story, a second-chance novella about a female soldier in George Washington’s army, appears in the Hamilton’s Battalion anthology alongside stories by Courtney Milan and Alyssa Cole.
