[close] Award winning author Laurin Wittig wandered the world in her youth, spending time in Europe, North Africa and various parts of the US. She wandered from an anthropology degree from Brown University to a Masters of Public Health from Tulane and then spent years teaching and writing about computers in Washington, DC.

She eventually wandered into fiction writing, then strayed a bit further until she discovered the world of romance novels where she has happily hung up her coat, slipped off her shoes and settled in for a nice long stay.

Enjoying this settled period, Laurin explored the world of medieval Scotland, delving into her Scottish roots, digging into the history she shunned in college and generally indulging her enthusiasm for learning about other cultures. The result of that exploration was Laurin’s debut, award winning novel, The Devil of Kilmartin (Jove, Sept. 2002). Her second Scottish historical, Charming the Shrew, was released as a Berkley Sensation in May, 2004. Her third, Daring the Highlander, is the sequel to Charming the Shrew and was released from Berkley Sensation in May, 2005.

Laurin's books have also been released in Russia and Germany.
