Since
writing her first romance novel in 1984, Virginia Brown
has written nearly 50 romance novels. Many of her books
have been nominated for Romantic Times’ Reviewer’s
Choice, Career Achievement Award for Love and Laughter,
and Career Achievement Award for Adventure. Her works
regularly appear on national bestseller lists. Having
written under several different names about historical
eras such as the old West, Regency-era, and the American
Civil War, she now writes under a new pseudonym, Juliana
Garnett, to focus upon the medieval era.
A native of
Tennessee, Virginia spent her childhood traveling with
her parents as a “military brat,” living all over the US
and in Japan. This influenced her love of travel and
adventure, which is reflected in her work.
Twice a
year, Virginia visits England to research her novels,
and includes Scotland in her travels. She feels this
adds a new dimension to her work, and enables her to
more authentically impart the true flavor of the
geographical and historical sites.
In addition
to appearing on the nationally syndicated television
program What’s Hot, What’s Not, Virginia Brown
has been interviewed by Jane Pauley on the Today Show,
and regularly appears on local television and radio
shows in addition to coverage by the press. She also
experienced a first for a romance writer by appearing on
the cover of Memphis, the magazine.
Virginia is
the mother of four grown children, and now enjoys her
menagerie of dogs that includes a fat beagle, two
part-chows, a hound and five cats. As the grandmother
of three lovely children, one of her greatest pleasures
these days is visiting with Justin, Christina, and
Gaby.
