I am Rebecca Dean and so far have written four Rebecca Dean novels. ENEMIES OF THE HEART is a saga spanning four decades in which an English/German family have their lives riven by divided loyalties, betrayals and forbidden passions. PALACE CIRCLE is also a saga. Beginning in Virginia in 1910, via the glamorous high society world of London in the 20’s and 30’s it contains real historical characters, plenty of scandal, and culminates in the spy-ridden, war-torn city of Cairo in 1943. THE GOLDEN PRINCE is also about real historical characters, this time King Edward VIII when, as a young Prince of Wales, he battled with his parents, King George V and Queen Mary to marry a girl who was not royal. Based on a little known true story in Edward’s life, the battle changed the history of the British Monarchy forever. My latest novel, titled WALLIS in the UK and THE SHADOW QUEEN in the USA, is a novel about Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, a woman who has long fascinated me.

Under my other writing names of Margaret Pemberton and Maggie Hudson I have written a total of 37 novels in many various genres. I have served as Chairman of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and  served three times as a committee member of the Crime Writers’ Association.

Married and with five adult children, I live in the small harbour town of Whitstable, in Kent. From my desk I have a glorious view of the sea and, at the end of a working day, enjoy long walks on the beach with my two small dogs, Pip and Bruno. I love to hear from my readers and so, if you would like to contact me, please do so.
