Hi,
My name is Lydia and I have two degrees in the arts and humanities from the University of St Andrews (1st class honors) and the University of Cambridge. These were both heavily based on research and writing, and I am confident in my ability to provide witty, succinct, and informative articles.
I am a passionate reader who studied English Literature at the university level, and am especially passionate about romance novels. The first novel I ever fell in love with was Pride and Prejudice when I was 10 years old. By the time I was in my teens I had read just about every classic romance novel there was - all the Austens, the Bronte sisters, Madame Bovary, Dickens, Thomas Hardy, L M Montgomery, and Louisa May Alcott.
I also love a good historical romance. Diana Gabaldon has always been a favorite - especially Dragonfly in Amber. I also think I have read just about everything by Sarah Dunnant.
Regency romance -I love Lisa Kleypas, Jo Beverly, Georgette Heyer, and Eloisa James to name just a few. My favourite - The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas.
Fantasy romance - Guy Gavriel Kay, Twilight, the Divergent series, Graceling, The Lark and the Wren
I also read teen romance, contemporary romance (Harlequin, Mills & Boon), and love to explore new romance authors via my Amazon Unlimited account.
I'd love to tell you more, but I've run out of characters on my bid - please message me so we can continue the discussion! I can also provide writing samples.
