Description
It was through no fault of her own that Lady Louisa Darwen had spent most of her formative years in the harem of the Grand Seraglio at Constantinople, and from the moment young, unconventional Louisa enters London Society for her first Season, the genteel equilibrium of the higher classes begins to go seriously awry. Eastern-raised Louisa has her own ideas of what she wants?and finding a husband is not (so she thinks) among them. As the Season progresses, the confusions and misunderstandings increase, plots thicken, and well-laid schemes come to sinister fruition, as Louisa begins to realize that perhaps there are still a few things the Turkish harem didn't teach her?and the most unsuitable man might be exactly the husband she wants.

Person
She was born long enough ago to have seen Classic Trek on its first outing and to remember that she once thought Spock Must Die! to be great literature. As she aged, she put aside her fond dreams of taking over for Batman when he retired, and returned to her first love, writing. Her first SF sale (as Eluki Bes Shahar) was the Hellflower series, in which Damon Runyon meets Doc Smith over at the old Bester place. Between books and short stories in every genre but the Western (several dozen so far), she's held the usual selection of odd and part-time writer jobs, including bookstore clerk, secretary, beta tester for computer software, graphic designer, book illustrator, library clerk, and administrative assistant for a non-profit arts organization. She can truthfully state that she once killed vampires for a living, and that without any knowledge of medicine has illustrated half-a-dozen medical textbooks.
