All of my novels-fourteen at last count-are set in the Middle Ages, and focus upon England's most colorful dynasty, the Plantagenets. as Sharon Penman, without the middle name, Kay, that I use in the United States. I have lived in Yorkshire and Wales to research two of my books-The Sunne in Splendour and Here be Dragons- and am published in the U.K. But I was very lucky and I have been blessed to make my living as a writer for the past thirty-seven years or so, and to find readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Like most writers, I was born with a love of the written word, although I never expected to be able to support myself as a writer when you read about starving artists in their garrets, most of them have starving writers as roommates. I was once a tax lawyer, which I looked upon as penance for my sins. I am an American of Irish-English-Welsh heritage, and I currently live in New Jersey, although many of my readers imagine I am happily dwelling upon a Welsh mountaintop-but no such luck.
