Lucinda Brant's Bio

Lucinda Brant's historical novels are set in 1700's England or France, but well before 1789, as it is her belief that she is drawn to the Eighteenth Century because in a previous life she lived an aristocrat's hedonistic existence and paid the price at the guillotine during the French Revolution (reason for the migraines in this life!).

Lucinda Brant studied law, politics and history at the Australian National University, before moving to the USA where she lived in Knoxville, Tennessee for six years. She has also lived, worked and travelled extensively throughout the British Isles, before settling with her husband, daughter and Italian Greyhound Bella in Melbourne, Australia.
