Welcome to the
next round of Medieval Monday. For months you’ve been reading excerpts from
some pretty amazing medieval romances. We’d like to tell you a little bit about
ourselves. What better way to do that than explain why we love to write
medieval romance and a little about ourselves.

Why
Judith Sterling writes Medieval Romance
Judith Sterling writes Medieval Romance
Some of the
first romances I read as a teen were set in medieval England. I loved the
passion of the period—the High Middle Ages (11th – 13th
centuries) in particular—and the lure of the British Isles. Ultimately, that
love led to a degree in history and a minor in British Studies.

During college
and grad school, I studied in England, Scotland, and Sweden. I jumped on every
opportunity to explore castles, monasteries, and other medieval buildings throughout
Europe. The older the structure, the better! In ruin after ruin, the whispers
of the past seduced me. I hear their voices still. With any luck, they add a
magical twist to the medieval romances I feel compelled to write and give my
readers a world they’ll want to enter again and again.

Sterling’s love of history and passion for the paranormal infuse everything she
writes. Flight of the Raven and Soul of the Wolf are part of her
medieval romance series, The Novels of
Ravenwood. The Cauldron Stirred,
the first book in her young adult paranormal series, Guardians of Erin, will be released soon. Written under Judith Marshall,
her nonfiction books—My Conversations
with Angels and Past Lives, Present
Stories—have been translated into multiple languages. She has an MA in
linguistics and a BA in history, with a minor in British Studies. Born in that
sauna called Florida, she craved cooler climes, and once the travel bug bit,
she lived in England, Scotland, Sweden, Wisconsin, Virginia, and on the island
of Nantucket. She currently lives in Salem, Massachusetts with her husband and
their identical twin sons.
