Glenda Garland http://www.glendagarland.com

At 14, Glenda Garland started writing what she had learned at her engineer father’s knee: science fiction. Her first space opera still brings tears to her eyes. It’s the nostalgia as much as how bad it is, you see. Fortunately she also discovered Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, and is now the author of five Zebra Regency romances with mystery and intrigue, including the most recent, A Delightful Folly (3/05), which earned a Romantic Times’ Top Pick. Her next Regency, In Pursuit of a Proper Husband, is out in July, 2005. Since Glenda and her family have lived all over the country, she has belonged to many RWA chapters; you can believe her when she says WRW has a wonderful focus on craft and professionalism.
