About this author

Vanessa Kelly was born and raised in New Jersey but eventually migrated north to Canada. She holds a Master's Degree from Rutgers University, and went on to attend the Ph.D. program at the University of Toronto. Alas, she didn't finish her degree, but she did spend many happy hours studying the works of 18th century British authors and writing about the madness of King George III. She left graduate school to work as a researcher in the public sector. Vanessa now devotes her time to writing historical romance, and hopes that her readers will find her books as much fun to read as they were to write.

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Vanessa. You seem like an interesting person, as well as quite the prolific author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
