The late Georgette Heyer was a very private woman. Her historical
novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades,
though she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or
private life. It is known that she was born in Wimbledon in August
1902, and her first novel, The Black Moth, was published in
1921.
Heyer published 56 books over the next 53 years, until her death
from lung cancer in 1974. Heyer's large volume of works included
Regency romances, mysteries and historical fiction. Known also as
the Queen of Regency romance, Heyer was legendary for her research,
historical accuracy and her extraordinary plots and
characterizations. Her last book, My Lord John, was published
posthumously in 1975. She was married to George Ronald Rougier, a
mining engineer, and they had one son together, Richard.
