Blythe Gifford

Blythe Gifford is the author of several medieval romances for the Harlequin Historical line featuring bastards born on the wrong side of the royal blanket.

After many years in public relations, advertising, and marketing, she started writing seriously after a corporate layoff. Ten years and one layoff later, she became an overnight success when she sold her Romance Writers of America Golden Heart finalist manuscript to Harlequin.

The Chicago Tribune has called her work “the perfect balance between history and romance.”

She juggles writing with a consulting career and is a frequent presenter of workshops online and at local and national Romance Writers of America conferences. 

Blythe lives and works along Chicago’s lakefront, nurturing her muse with art, music, history, long talks, good food and good friends.
