Mary Kingswood writes traditional Regency romances set in early nineteenth-century England. Her stories focus on the social rules, family dynamics, and courtship rituals of the period. She lives in the Scottish Highlands with her husband.
Kingswood has published more than 50 books since 2016, organized into nine series. Her work includes The Daughters of Allamont Hall, where six sisters must marry in order of age to receive their dowries, and the Silver Linings Mystery series, which mixes Regency settings with mystery plots. Her books are inspired by Austen and Heyer and stay firmly in the “drawing room” tradition of romance.
