About Catherine Coulter:
Catherine Coulter's first novel came out at the end of 1978 when she had just reached puberty. It was a Regency romance because, as any published author will tell you, it's best to limit the number of unknowns in a first book, and not only had she grown up reading Georgette Heyer, but she earned her M.A. degree in early 19th century European history.
Following "The Autumn Countess" (a Gothic masquerading as a Regency, she says), she wrote six more Regency romances. Her first long historical appeared in 1982, her "baby", "Devil's Embrace." She has continued to write long historicals, interspersing them with contemporary novels, beginning with "False Pretenses" in 1988. These days she writes one contemporary suspense novel a year and one historical romance a year.
