Wales proudly claims to have more castles per square mile than any other country. Those castles range from the Stone Age to the Victorian era...and some of them are connected with the legends surrounding Merlin. Did someone mention dragons? How about music? The industrial revolution? Medieval resistance armies? A prince who sailed to North America before Columbus? The first and best book town?

Find out about Wales, a charming land with ancient traditions, surrounded on three sides by the sea. In the many small towns, a traveler can visit buildings that weren't "victorianized", losing what our Regency characters would have encountered. Whether you write Regencies or medievals, Wales offers beautiful settings and fascinating settings. And did I mention that book town???

Award-winning author Jo Ann Ferguson has a split writing personality. Jo Ann Ferguson launched the new Regency line at ImaJinn (where her next traditional Regency will Gentleman's Master, the next book in her popular Regency mysteries) as well as being the author of best-selling historicals.
J.A. Ferguson writes paranormals for ImaJinn (her next book is Dreamseeker).
Jocelyn Kelley's most recent book is Sea Wraith, released in November 2009. Jo Ann Brown novelized Thomas Kinkade's The Christmas Cottage, a movie starring Peter O'Toole, and now also writes for Guideposts Books (her first title in the Patchwork Mysteries series, Time to Share, will be released Fall 2010). Her 80+ titles are also published by Tudor, Ballantine, Zebra, Harper, Warner, and Thorndike. The books have been translated into almost a dozen languages and sold on every continent except Antarctica.
