about this author
I'm the author of the Josephine B. Trilogy, the internationally best-selling novels based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte, Napoleon's wife. The Trilogy is now published in 14 countries, and in 12 languages.
I most recently published MISTRESS OF THE SUN, the first of what will be a series of novels set in the Court of Louis XIV, the Sun King. (I'm writing a second now.)
An American-Canadian, I was born in Miami, Florida, and lived in Rio de Janeiro, Berkeley and Chicago before immigrating to Canada in 1970 to teach in an Inuit village in northern Labrador. (Note: my birthday above is fictitious for security reasons.)
Settling in Toronto, I worked as a book editor for a decade before moving with my husband and two children to a log house in northern Ontario, where, in 1985, I began writing full-time. Ten years later, the first of the novels in the Josephine B. Trilogy was published.
Mistress of the Sun, a historical novel set in mid-17th century France, was published in February, 2008, in Canada, and the following June in the U.S. It is inspired by the life of Louise de la Vallire, an extraordinary equestrian and mistress of the Sun King.
My husband and I live half the year in Ontario, and half in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. For more information about the me, my research and work, go to my website at www.sandragulland.com. I also write two blogs, and can be found on the Net in a number of locals:
