Louisa Burton

Patricia Burford and her twin Pamela were born on 9 August 1954 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, U.S.A.. They are reputedly descended from "Little John," the best friend of the legendary "Robin Hood", this helped inspire Patricia's love of history. Married, they live with their daugthers in a house shared with a variety of cats in Rochester, Monroe County, New York. Before beginning to write, she worked in the publishing industry in New York City and Rochester, as both a marketing manager and editor. She writes contemporary and historical romance novels with her married name: Patricia Ryan, mystery novels as P.B. Ryan (her first and middle initials with her married surname) and erotica novels as Louisa Burton (in homage to Sir Richard Burton, who translated the Kama Sutra). As Patricia Ryan, she won a Golden Heart award in 1994 in the category "short contemporary series", a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award and a RITA for "Best Long Historical Romance", the top award of the Romance Writers of America in 2000. As P.B. Ryan, she was nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award.

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth, and May, were educated by their father, philosopher and teacher Bronson Alcott, and raised on the practical Christianity of their mother, Abigail May. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and in Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were enlightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s library, excursions into nature with Henry David Thoreau, and theatricals in the barn at "Hillside". Like her character, "Jo March" in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy. "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, "and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences ..." For Louisa, writing was an early passion. She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends. Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays --"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens." At age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed: "I will do something by and by. Don’t care what, teach, sew, act, write -- anything to help the family; and I’ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won’t!"
