Biography

Alissa Baxter wrote her first Regency romance during her long university holidays. After travelling the world, she settled down to write her second Regency novel, which was inspired by her time living on a country estate in England. Alissa then published two chick lit novels before returning to her favourite era with a new traditional Regency series, The Linfield Ladies. This trilogy features women in trend-setting roles who fall in love with men who embrace their trailblazing ways... at least eventually. Her new Dragonblade series, The Grantham Girls, continues this inspiring theme.

Alissa currently lives in Johannesburg with her husband and two sons.

Kirkus Reviews

"A gentle Regency romance, full of sweetness and intelligence. Alissa Baxter's writing is period perfect."

"Recommended for anyone who likes a completely clean traditional Regency, with strongly authentic writing, historical accuracy and a satisfying romance."

Mary Kingswood, author of traditional Regency romances

"The Earl's Lady Geologist by Alissa Baxter deftly weaves together the charm of a traditional Regency romance, fascinating information on scientific society of the time, with a quiet subtext about the challenges faced by women interested in pursuing science. This first book in a new series is wonderfully satisfying on many levels!"
