The Marriage Market Read online

  Victoria did not reply, but merely clung to him. She had never dreamt of such love and contentment until she had met David. Now there would be a child to love and more to come, God willing. She prayed that their children would one day experience this kind of joy with their own spouses. But why should they not? She smiled to herself. After all, she would be there to help them.

  About the Author

  Always a voracious reader, my early favourite authors were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Brontë. I met my husband, a multi-talented man who is a singer, actor, and university instructor, while working as an administrative assistant at a university. He didn't actually say "Marry me and see Canada," but that's practically what happened. We have lived on the west coast in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the east coast in St. John's, Newfoundland, in central Ontario, and we're currently living in Calgary, Alberta.

  The Marriage Market was my first novel, followed by The Affairs of Harriet Walters, Spinster. Both are historical romances set in England after the Napoleonic wars. My third novel was a contemporary mystery with an amateur sleuth set in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of Alberta. It's the first in the Anna Nolan series, entitled Framed for Murder. I'm currently working on the sequel, Town Haunts.
