Barbara Metzger is the author of over two dozen books and novellas, all set in the Regency period of England. She is also an artist, exhibiting nature paintings on driftwood at nearby craft shows. She has also been an editor, a proof-reader and a greeting card verse-writer. When not painting, writing Regencies or reading them, she volunteers at the local library, gardens and goes beach-combing with her little dog, Hero.
