About the Author
VANESSA RILEY writes historical fiction and historical romance (Georgian, Regency, and Victorian) featuring hidden histories, dazzling multiculture communities, and strong sisterhoods.
This southern, Irish, Trini-descended girl holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering and an MS in industrial engineering and engineering management from Stanford University. She also earned a BS and an MS in mechanical engineering from Penn State University. Yet her love of history and lattes have overwhelmed her passion for math, leading to the publication of twenty-plus titles. She enjoys writing on her southern porch with proper caffeine.
Riley’s novels have been reviewed by Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, the Washington Post, and the New York Times.
