And she has the proof-a neatly penciled story, the pages lavishly illustrated with full color crayon drawings of horses and bound with staples-to back up her claim. I have since moved on from Westerns to writing about Regency England (clearly I have a thing for Men In Boots!) a time and place that has captured my imagination ever since I opened the covers of Jane Austen's \"Pride and Prejudice.\"I have a BA and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University, where I studied book design (As you see, I've always had a left brain-right brain love affair with art and the printed word.) These days, when I'm not tethered to my keyboard I enjoy traveling to interesting destinations around the world-however, my favorite spot is London, where the esoteric museums, funky antique markets and used book stores offer a wealth of inspiration for my stories.","brand":"Oliver-Heber Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103731511570,"sku":"9781648399879","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_84e8d8d8-4627-4deb-9058-c9bdce1f1f3e.jpg?v=1773154769","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-lady-of-letters-9781648399879","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
