Keira Soleore

Keira is an aspiring romance writer living among the towering mountains and evergreen trees of the Pacific Northest. These days, she's working on one full-length novel and two novellas set in southern England of the 800s during the time of King Alfred the Great.

She has previously completed two Regency-set and two medieval historical manuscripts, one set in Scotland in the 1100s and the other in England in the 900s.

She's a published writer of more than sixty feature articles and books reviews in international, national, and regional publications. As an editor and proofreader, she has worked with authors, magazines, book publishers, and nonprofit organizations. 
 

Her top hobbies are reading, researching history, journaling, walking and yoga, listening to folk and world music, and watching period movies. 

If she were a character in a book, she would be a medieval scribe of illuminated manuscripts and still unmarried at twenty-five (gasp!). No languishing and starving in a tower for her. She would be a maiden of independent means and have the wherewithal to afford a garrisoned keep.

Keira is proud to be a member of the Romance Writers of America and three of its chapters: the Beau Monde for the Georgian/Regency era history enthusiasts, Seattle's Eastside RWA chapter, and the Greater Seattle RWA chapter. Every July finds her jetting across the country to attend RWA's national conference. She can also be spotted at the Emerald City conference in October and online on Twitter, Facebook, e-mail loops, author blogs, and reader message boards. 

Keira is the comments moderator of the Journal of Popular Romance Studies of the International Association for the Study of Popular Romance (IASPR) and of Candice Hern's message board.
