Casey Claybourne
Description
Recipient of a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award in “Historical Love and Laughter,” Casey Claybourne would like to add to her trophy shelf the prestigious Career Achievement Award in “Mothering Two Teenage Children.” Currently serving a life sentence with the PTA, Casey annually logs thousands of miles as a soccer/track/cross-country mom, aided at times by her husband, Sheltie and Yorkie.
A resident of Northern California, Casey is a graduate of UC Berkeley where she took an honors degree in nineteenth century French Literature. She began writing in 1993 and was fortunate enough to publish her very first manuscript, The Devil’s Darling, with Berkley/Jove in 1994. That sale was followed by eleven more, earning her along the way “Favorite Regency of the Year” from Affaire de Coeur and nominations for both the PRISM and the RITA.
The summer that I was seven, I read Little Women exactly eleven times, ultimately concluding that I was Jo March. In fact, my first novel, written in third grade, was a shocking rip-off of the Louisa May Alcott classic. Although my grand opus was not published, the early "writing" seeds had been planted. Later, at UC Berkeley, I studied literature, specifically English, French and Russian works of the nineteenth century. In my spare collegiate time, I read romance greats like Woodiwiss, Spencer and McNaught. Eventually, it seemed only natural that I should try my hand at writing romance, which I did in 1993, selling my very first manuscript to Berkley Books.
