Award-winning author Emily Bryan learned much of what she knows about writing from singing. A classically trained soprano, she gleaned the elements of storytelling while performing operatic roles. She describes her light-hearted stories as Gilbert & Sullivan . . . with sex!

Emily’s Distracting the Duchess received an RT Reviewers Choice, BookBuyers Best, and CORWA Award of Excellence nomination. Her Vexing the Viscount was a NightOwl Romance Reviewer Top Pick! Library Journal describes her novella in A Christmas Ball as “worthy of Shakespeare!” Her books have been translated into German, Dutch, Italian, Russian and Spanish. She regularly receives fan mail from around the globe. Emily Bryan and her husband have lived in nine different states, but she now makes her home in the heart of New England.

Emily’s latest release is A CHRISTMAS BALL:

“Although the title of this anthology sounds terribly traditional, this diverse trio is anything but. From Emily Bryan’s “My Lady Below Stairs,” the story of a bastard servant girl called in to impersonate her missing aristocratic half-sister with results worthy of Shakespeare, to Ashley’s “The Longest Night,” in which a shapeshifting nobleman attempts to win the heart of the wary woman he loves while on the trail of a spy, to Alissa Johnson’s “Traditions,” the tale of an earl who sets out to woo one woman and falls for her intriguing companion instead, these light, entertaining romps are not typical holiday fare.

VERDICT: A unique anthology of Regency holiday novellas that are risqué and diverting, making for an intriguingly off-beat addition to the seasonal slate.“
