Meredith Duran blames Anne Boleyn for her lifelong fascination with British history. At thirteen years old, she made a list of life goals that included writing romance novels, trying sushi, and traveling to London to see Holbein's portraits of the Tudor court. Having checked off those items many times over, she’s making a new list. So far, it includes finding the courage to steek a sweater, deadlifting twice her body weight, hearing the northern lights (yes, hearing!), and finishing That Manuscript, plus sundry other items.

Meredith is a USA Today-bestselling, RITA® Award-winning author, whose books have been translated into over a dozen languages. She is represented by Holly Root of Root Literary.
