Lucy Clark is a journalist and editor with 31 years experience in newspapers and magazines in Sydney, London and New York. She was most recently the editor of the news and opinion website The Hoopla, and has worked as a literary editor, features writer, and opinion columnist. She is now a Senior Editor at Guardian Australia.

Helen Lacey grew up reading Black Beauty, Anne of Green Gables and Little House on The Prairie. These childhood classics inspired her to write her first book when she was seven years old, a story about a girl and her horse. At eleven, she read her first Mills & Boon and immediately knew she wanted to write romances.

Her parent's love of travel meant she saw much of the world in those early years and she feels fortunate to have had a diverse and interesting education over several continents. Continuing to write into her teens and twenties with the dream of one day being a published author, it was a few years and several careers later when she got the "call" from our North American office.

She loves writing about tortured heroes, both cowboys and CEO's, and heroine's who finally get the love of the man of their dreams. When she's not writing she works part time in a bridal shop, where she gets to meet fascinating people, some of whom might one day end up being in one of her books.

From Welsh parents and a large family, she lives on the east coast of Australia in a small seaside town at the southern most point of The Great Barrier Reef, with her wonderfully supportive husband, many horses and three spoiled dogs. Her debut book, Made for Marriage, is out now in the Blush series, and will be followed by another book in early 2013. Helen loves to hear from readers so be sure to visit her website today!
