Lorena Dove has been reading and dreaming about living during historical times since she was a young child growing up in New York and Virginia. A descendent of Italian and German immigrants, she enjoys the interplay of cultures and passing down of traditions, recipes and family values to her children and grandchildren.
Lorena raised four children in a modernized 1880s log cabin for 10 years in West Virginia. The seasons of nature, the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the simple enjoyment of gardening, reading and quilting have been her passions. She now lives in Florida with her husband, and collaborates on books with her daughter, whose passion for historical fiction exceeds Lorena’s!
