Julianne Donaldson

Donaldson crafts immersive historical romance narratives that intertwine a love for history with a rich appreciation of classic literature. Drawing from her international upbringing as the daughter of a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, she spent formative years skiing in the Italian Alps and visiting East Berlin before the wall fell. These experiences instilled in her a deep wanderlust and a profound love for history, elements that resonate throughout her writing. She channels inspiration from literary greats like Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and Mary Stewart, creating works that capture the romantic essence of Regency England.\n\nIn her book "Edenbrooke", Donaldson captures the spirit of a Jane Austen novel with its focus on character-driven romance, while "Blackmoore" draws parallels to the atmospheric depth of a Brontë novel. These books have not only been celebrated for their romantic narrative but have also been translated into 15 languages, allowing them to reach a global audience. Meanwhile, her memoir "Normal for Me" offers readers insight into her personal journey, showcasing her resilience and ability to transform pain into acceptance and joy. \n\nReaders of Donaldson's work benefit from her skillful blend of historical detail and romantic imagination, providing an escape into a richly constructed past. Her novels, which are devoid of explicit content, offer a wholesome alternative for romance enthusiasts and are designed to resonate with fans of traditional literary romance. Additionally, her Regency events offer a unique, immersive experience for those wishing to step into the world she so vividly portrays. Through these various endeavors, Donaldson extends her impact beyond the written page, engaging her audience with both literary depth and experiential creativity.
