The Making of Bianca Blythe
Born in Texas, Bianca Blythe grew up with a love for stories, nurtured by her father’s readings of classics like the Chronicles of Narnia. Her academic path led her to Wellesley College, where she earned a bachelor’s degree, and later to graduate studies in Boston. But it was her four-year stint in England, working in a fifteenth-century castle, that sparked her passion for Regency romance. A rainy day drove her into a library, where she discovered Julia Quinn’s novels, igniting her desire to write. This blend of American roots and British immersion gives Blythe’s work a unique, transatlantic flair.
