Merry Christmas from Loretta Chase
I live in Worcester, Massachusetts, in a seventy- year-old house with my remarkably supportive husband and too many books. It’s long been obvious to him that I am a fount of obscure and useless knowledge. (He wonders, for instance, why I can trace on a map six different mail coach routes from London to Brighton, but can’t find fifth gear on my VW.) Having decided early on that I would be less dangerous to society and myself if I became a full-time writer, he’s employed all his masculine wiles to that end. Even before my first book was finished, he persuaded me to quit my day job and Just Write. The result has been seven novels in eight years, dozens of video scripts, and several awards, including an RWA Rita for The Sandalwood Princess. “Falling Stars” is my first Christmas story. It was inspired by a photograph I saw some time ago of an elaborately fanciful gatehouse—all that remained of a centuries-old estate.

About the Author
After a heroic attempt to be an English major forever, Loretta Chase stoically accepted her degree but kept on reading and writing. As well as working in academe, she had an enlightening if brief life in retail and a Dickensian six-month experience as a meter maid. In the course of moonlighting as a corporate video scriptwriter, she succumbed to the charm of a producer, who lured her into writing novels -- and marrying him. The union has resulted in what seems like an awful lot of books and quite a few awards, including the Romance Writers of America’s Rita. Heralded as “…the long awaited successor to Georgette Heyer” by Library Journal, Loretta Chase’s historical romance novels have been published all over the world.
