Cerise DeLand

Cerise DeLand loves to write about dashing heroes and the sassy women they adore. \nBut I bet you knew that! \nDid you know that readers praise her for her poetic elegance and accuracy of detail? \nThat she’s an award-winning author of more than 40 novels and was first published in 1991 by Kensington, then Pocket Books, later by St. Martin’s Press and independent presses? \nThat her books have been monthly selections of the Doubleday Book Club and the Mystery Guild? Right. And she’s won awards. Lots of them. Need details? Write to her. She’ll send you the list!\nTo research, she’s dived into the oldest texts, newspapers and prints and dustiest library shelves. She also travels abroad taking good walking shoes, trusty notebooks and pens, plus camera! She visits chateaux and country homes she loves to people with her own imaginary characters. \nAnd at home every day? She cooks. Never dusts. (That can be a problem.) She goes swimming or pumps iron once a week and tries (desperately) to grow vegetables in her arid backyard in south Texas! \nShe’s valiant. And dedicated.\nSo are her heroines and heroes.\nDo visit her website, http://cerisedeland.com and blog at http://cerisedeland.blogspot.com. \nAlso visit her YOUTube Channel for her videos of her research travels here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCba82P_Q1kUrJUVVW0CwJmw/
