Joanna Bourne is the award-winning author of Rogue Spy, The Black Hawk, The Forbidden Rose, My Lord and Spymaster, and The Spymaster's Lady. She has always loved reading and writing romance. She's drawn to Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and Regency England because, as she puts it, “It was a time of love and sacrifice, daring deeds, clashing ideals, and really cool clothing.” She's lived in seven different countries, including England and France, the settings of the Spymaster series. Joanna lives on a mountaintop in the Appalachians with her family, a peculiar cat, and an old brown country dog.
"Once in a while, during every reader's literary life, you
encounter a book that reminds you why you are a reader. It renews
your faith, if faith was lost; it rekindles your interest, if
interest waned; and every word, every page, is a wonder. Adrian and
Justine's story is not only such a book and it confirms Joanna
Bourne is one of the best authors currently writing. If Ms. Bourne
continues writing at such quality, she would deserve to be called
one of the greatest romance authors ever. And I mean that." --All

Praise for Joanna Bourne's The Black Hawk:
"Once in a while, during every reader's literary life, you
encounter a book that reminds you why you are a reader. It renews
your faith, if faith was lost; it rekindles your interest, if
interest waned; and every word, every page, is a wonder. Adrian and
Justine's story is not only such a book and it confirms Joanna
Bourne is one of the best authors currently writing. If Ms. Bourne
continues writing at such quality, she would deserve to be called
one of the greatest romance authors ever. And I mean that." --All
About Romance"Books by [Joanna Bourne] are like a box of fine
Laduree macaroons, not cheap junk food. They should be leisurely
savored as the exquisite delicacies they are, for Bourne is a
master wordsmith, able to charm, excite or break a reader’s heart
with the stroke of her pen....My opinion is this is the best novel
she has written and destined to be a classic in the romance genre.
If you have read Joanna Bourne’s work before you know what a
compliment this is, and the depths she is capable of." --Dear
Author
