Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously, and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that herein ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she soon discovered the quill and its amazing power. Long after she left the house, she continued to write for many years until discovering RWA in 1998. Her insterest in history quickly led to a rather large and unusual collection of books on topics randing from sex to the privy. A 2005 and 2007 Golden Heart Finalist in the Short Historical Category, Delilah finally sold her first steamy, historical romance, MISTRESS OF PLEASURE, to Kensington.
