Missing: Marjorie Farrell

Marjorie Farrell started out as a writer of Regencies and now writes historical romances set in the Regency period or the American Southwest. She won Romantic Times award for Best New Regency Author, was nominated for Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award as well as Best Regency Romance (for Heartless Lord Harry) and has been a RITA finalist.

Marjorie Farrell is now an Associate Professor in the Adult Learning Division of Lesley College, teaching writing, literature and human development courses in the Adult Baccalaureate College.

Romance novels and feminism aren't usually thought of as going hand and hand. But as Associate Professor Marjorie Farrell discovered, beneath the "awful covers" the heroine is often far stronger and more independent than depicted. But what about those covers? Farrell says unfortunately, the writers have no control over them."Although," she admits, "in general they have gotten a little better."
