Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Although she writes under the pen name J.K. To do that, Kol needs magic of his own-and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman-and bring her Lorelai’s heart. In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol’s father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic-wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. She’ll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common-magic. Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father.

While writing might not have been in Nora Roberts’ blood as a child, she made up for it in 1979, when she first sat down to write. with her husband, Roberts had two sons, Dan and Jason, whose names would later inspire her JD Robb pen name. She did, though, meet her future husband at high school, whom she married immediately after graduation in 1968. Roberts’ school years were unspectacular, and, unlike some authors, the seed for writing was not planted at this time. However, although she greatly enjoyed reading, Roberts was not a keen writer as a child, which, given her output now, is somewhat surprising. Roberts grew up in a family which valued literature, and so she grew up immersed in books. Roberts has Irish ancestry, which is reflected through some of her work, especially her Irish Hearts series of books. The author Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson in 1950, in the community of Silver Springs, Maryland. Nate’s character had multiple layers, the broody businessman, the protective father, and the alpha partner, but he is complex in so many other ways you only understand once you’ve been inside his head. But she didn’t count on Nate and all of his family standing strong and fighting back, or for her to start questioning her own life and future. Quincey gave up everything to care for Nova after her sister Valerie did, and now her own father Duke is telling her she needs to make sure Nova remains hers. When a woman comes up to him in a bar, telling him he’s a father and asks him to sign his rights away there and then, his whole world is turned upside down, and he knows he’s about to have the fight of his life to have the little girl in his life. Nate is living his bachelor life, travelling the country for work, but when he arrives in Seattle, he begins to feel a bit restless. Nate had intrigued me since reading Fallen Crest in 2014, so I knew his book was going to be a good one, and I was right. You’ve had hints of these characters in the Crew series, but seeing Nate, Mason, Logan, and Sam again made me so happy, it felt like I was returning home to old friends. I adore her standalones, but I didn’t quite realise how happy I would be returning to the Fallen Crest world so fully as you do in Nate. Tijan’s books are some of my favourites, and I will say it time and time again. A holiday tale from the New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire mystery series, the inspiration.
