Mary Balogh (rhymes with Kellogg, born Mary Jenkins) is a British historical romance novelist. She was born and raised in Swansea, Wales and moved to Canada in 1967 on a two year teaching contract after leaving college. There, she met and married her Canadian husband Robert Balogh and settled in the small prairie town of Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. She taught high school English for a number of years, and rose to the level of school principal. She has three children and three grandchildren.
Mary Balogh began her writing career in 1983, when she wrote her first novel A Masked Deception in the evenings after work on the kitchen table. During her childhood, Mary and her sister Moira had amused themselves by telling each other stories. As an adult, Mary discovered the wonderful world of the Regency historical romance as written by Georgette Heyer. The vast majority of Mary Balogh's novels have been set in Regency or Georgian England or Wales. A Masked Deception was accepted by Signet and published in 1985. Mary Balogh won the Romantic Times Award for best new Regency writer that year.
Since this sparkling debut, Mary Balogh has never looked back. She has had over 60 novels and over 20 novellas published, and met with great critical success. She has received numerous awards, including a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Regency Short Stories in 1993 and appeared on the New York Times bestseller list.
