Spurred on by the unbiased acclaim, I wrote eight more Regency romances before being picked up by Covenant Communications. My first novel, The Ramshackle Knight, was published in May of 2007 and met with rave reviews from my mother and closest relatives. The story was initially going to be one book. Between world war on a scale unheard of until that time, the political upheaval at home, a changing economy, the rise of industrialism and the burgeoning belief in the importance of romantic love, the early 19th Century has a little of everything. Eden had a few surprises as she wrote the historical novel Longing for Home, which was released last fall, and the story's conclusion in Hope Springs (Shadow Mountain, 15.99), which is scheduled to be released this week. Mercifully, I did not revisit the unicorn story but ventured into the world of Historical Romance.Ī true romantic at heart, though I forcefully deny the charge, I harbor a true weakness for the Regency era in English history. Several years after earning a bachelors degree in social science research, marrying my wonderful, if rather tall, husband and the birth of our second child, I took up my pen once more.
That summer's efforts produced the first ten pages of “The Mystery of the Broken Unicorn”-my first experience with a plot idea that simply didn't work. One sweltering summer, my mother, in what can now be easily identified as a desperate ploy to keep her five children occupied for a few hours during the never-ending summer break, implemented a summer writing challenge.
On the heals of this success, I went on to write absolutely nothing for many, many years. Entitled “The Sun,” this work of literary genius contained such awe-inspiring passages as, “The sun is yellow.” It was a ground-breaking success among the Kindergarten of Roadrunner Elementary. At the ripe-old age of five, I wrote my first book.
