BiosShort Version: Laurin Wittig, award winning,
over-educated author and recovering computer geek, loves exploring
the world of medieval Scotland, delving into her Scottish roots,
digging into the history she shunned in college and generally
indulging her enthusiasm for learning about other cultures. Add to
that her love of the romance genre and a passion for writing and
voila, several novels have been born. Her latest release is
Daring the
Highlander (Berkley Sensation, May 2005).
Please visit her web site at www.LaurinWittig.com. Award winning author Laurin Wittig wandered the world in her youth, spending time in Europe, North Africa and various parts of the US. She wandered from an anthropology degree from Brown University to a Masters of Public Health from Tulane and then spent years teaching and writing about computers in Washington, DC. She eventually wandered into fiction writing, then strayed a bit further until she discovered the world of romance novels where she has happily hung up her coat, slipped off her shoes and settled in for a nice long stay. Enjoying this settled period, Laurin explored the world of medieval Scotland, delving into her Scottish roots, digging into the history she shunned in college and generally indulging her enthusiasm for learning about other cultures. The result of that exploration was Laurin’s debut, award winning novel, The Devil of Kilmartin (Jove, Sept. 2002). Her second Scottish historical, Charming the Shrew, was released as a Berkley Sensation in May, 2004. Her third, Daring the Highlander, is the sequel to Charming the Shrew and was released from Berkley Sensation in May, 2005. Excerpts from all three books are available at www.LaurinWittig.com. Laurin was a two time finalist for the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award. The Devil of Kilmartin was a double nominee for the Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence, a nominee for the Golden Rose Readers’ Choice Award, a finalist in the Holt Medallion and a double finalist in the National Readers' Choice Award where it won for Best Short Historical of 2002.
