Jaimey Grant was born in Michigan in 1979, the fourth of five children. Childhood passed in a blur of humid summers and freezing, snowy winters. She started writing after devouring hundreds of traditional Regency romances. She used to believe it took some kind of genius to write a book. Knowing she was not a genius, she decided to try anyway. After sitting down with a set of characters and a basic plot, she wrote her first book from start to finish. It wasn't perfect or even good by any means, but it was still something to be proud of.Over a dozen manuscripts later, she finally considers herself a writer.Her favorite Regency authors include Jane Austen, Patricia Veryan, Marion Chesney, Loretta Chase, Barbara Metzger and too many more to name. She also has a love of Gothic and mystery/suspense books, incorporating these themes into her own works. Gothic/suspense influences include Victoria Holt, Madeleine Brent, Carola Salisbury and more.Jaimey currently resides in Michigan with her husband and two children. She is working on several more Regency romances.
