Author Bio| Mary J. Putney | | Mary Jo Putney was born and raised in upstate New York. After earning degrees in English literature and industrial design at Syracuse University, she worked for a number of years as a graphic designer. While the world of literature and writers had been hers for the taking in college, it had never occurred to her that she might actually become a writer until she purchased a personal computer for her home in Baltimore, Maryland. Beginning with 1987's THE DIABOLICAL BARON, Putney has produced more than 20 historical romance novels and novellas--some of them best-sellers--on her beloved PC. Putney is the recipient of four consecutive Golden Leaf Awards for Best Historical Romance, two Romance Writers of America Rita Awards, and several Romance Times Awards, including a Career Achievement Award for Regency Historical Romance. |
