Eloisa James
In her early twenties, Eloisa decided to go to England to study.� She is embarrassed to admit that her decision sprang carelessly from the idea that because she liked rain, English men, Cornish pastries and long baths, England would be a great place to live.� She spent two years discovering that most English men came to her shoulder and that she was woefully unprepared to study at Oxford University.� In fact, she still has nightmares in which black-gowned professors question her sternly about the accuracy of her footnotes.� However, she made a friend in England named Sarah.� Sarah had a passion for the novels of Georgette Heyer and Eloisa's wounded pride was soothed by the joy of reading through Sarah's entire collection of romances.� The plot for POTENT PLEASURES sprung to mind in England, but didn't get written until years later.�
A few years later, Eloisa's dream of writing and being published is a reality.� She has shared that first book with us, for this auction.� All of her books have received high marks from both reviewers, editors and readers alike.� Her next book, A WILD PURSUIT is due out in February, 2004.�
