About Christine Feehan

How many times do we hear of anyone following exactly the career path that they always dreamed of? For author, Christine Feehan, the dream came true. She talks about how she always wanted to be a writer, as far back as she can remember. She began writing at a very early age, and required her sisters to read each of her works before being sent to a publisher. Currently, her daughters help with that job......to edit and critique the work before it is submitted for publication. That is called literally, keeping it all in the family.

Feehan has always loved family time. She came from a huge family and she and her husband, Richard, had a blended family with 11 children. She is a strong advocate of women helping each other. During one period in her life, she learned self-defense, then taught it to women who had been abused.

Feehan is a consistent #1 New York Times bestselling author, with over 70 published novels. These also include five series....... Dark Series, Ghostwalker Series, Leopard Series, Drake Sisters Series, the Sisters of the Heart Series, and Torpedo Ink. In her own words......."I've been a writer all my life......it is who I am. I write for myself and always have."

Op de rug van het boek staat dat het een gothic romance is en na al die tanden afbrokkelende suikerzoete kerst boeken en films dacht ik bij mijzelf : ok. nu i......more

Goodreads review by Book Binge on January 21, 2011

I don't like this book as much as I like Lair of the Lion, but it's still a good read. I like that Feehan really addresses maidenly modesty here. Too often in historical romance novels the heroines are perfectly comfortable to strip naked for their men - or any discomfort they feel at being naked an......more

Beauty, the supposed Beast, and the Palace of Death This story started out intense and scary. Listening to the audio was like watching the beginning of a horror movie, so much so I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it. As the story progressed I got confused. From some of the reviews I had read I......more
