Jeannie Lin grew up fascinated
with stories of Western epic fantasy and Eastern martial arts adventures. When
her best friend introduced her to romance novels in middle school, the stage
was set. Jeannie started writing her first romance while working as a high
school science teacher in South Central Los Angeles. After four years of trying
to break into publishing with an Asian-set historical, she earned the 2009
Golden Heart Award for Butterfly Swords,
and her first three Tang Dynasty romances have received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. As a technical
consultant, backpacker, and vacation junkie, she’s traveled all over the United
States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, China, and Vietnam. She’s now happily
settled in St. Louis with her husband and children. She continues to journey to
exotic locations in her stories. |
