After many years in public relations, advertising, and marketing, Blythe Gifford 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 as The Knave and The Maiden (2004).  Her other medieval romances, all featuring a bastard born on the wrong side of the royal blanket, include In the Master’s Bed (2009), Innocence Unveiled (2008), and The Harlot's Daughter (2007).  Her next release will be out in 2010.

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

A past president of Chicago North RWA, she has given workshops at numerous RWA Conferences, including the National Conference.

Blythe lives and works along Chicago’s lakefront, nurturing her muse with art, music, history, long walks, good food and good friends.  She loves to have visitors at:
