Claire Delacroix

NYT bestselling author Claire Delacroix always loved stories, both telling them and hearing them. She sold her first romance novel in 1992 and has published over eighty romance novels since. She writes in a variety of subgenres, including time travel romance, historical romance, medieval romance, fantasy romance and fantasy with romantic elements. She has also written under the names Claire Cross and Deborah Cooke. She makes her home with her family, a number of incomplete knitting projects and a lot of overgrown houseplants. Claire loves to travel, to cook, to ride her bike and to read. I love writing linked books: Blood Brothers is my most recent series of Scottish medieval romances: 1. The Wolf & the Witch 2.

Something Wicked This Way Comes 2. A Duke by Any Other Name 3. A Baron for All Seasons 4.
