Laurie GrantLaurie Grant's writing career grew out of her voracious reading habits as a child, when, after reading all her library books, she began writing her own stories, first about animals. Then, as her reading tastes changed, so did her writing subjects-in he '60s she featured the Beatles as romantic heroes; then she discovered historical romances.
Her first published historical romance, Defiant Heart, a medieval, was published in 1987. Her sixth book, The Raven and the Swan, a Harlequin Historical novel, won the 1995 National Readers' Choice Award in the short historical division.
Laurie has been a full-time emergency room nurse for 28 years, and is a former paramedic and Lifeflight nurse. She now works in a family practice doctor's office while remaining part-time with the E.R. as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, or S.A.N.E. She says having two very diverse worlds keeps her more sane in each of them.
She is married to her own real-life hero and has two daughters, two stepdaughters, three grandchildren (with another on the way!), two horses, three dogs, two cats, and lives in rural central Ohio.
