Carol Townend writes atmospheric historical romances set in medieval times. Born in Yorkshire, England, she went to a convent school high on the Whitby cliffs. Later, she studied history at Royal Holloway College, London. She lives in London with her husband and daughter.

Carol's first novel, 'Sapphire in the Snow', won the RNA New Writers' Award. Two other novels have been shortlisted for the RoNA Rose Award - 'Betrothed to the Barbarian' in 2013 and 'Unveiling Lady Clare' in 2015.

Carol loves research - she can often be seen teetering on the battlements of various European castles or poring over a medieval map.

Her non-fiction writing includes several articles for Writing Magazine and Writers' News, and a portrait of the Romanovs which introduces family portraits from the Imperial albums.
