Welcome to the official web site of historical romance author Kristi Astor! I'm looking forward to my very first release in February 2009--the novella SWEPT AWAY in the four-author anthology LORDS OF DESIRE headlined by NYTimes bestselling author Virginia Henley. The anthology will be released in trade paperback, and will also include historical novellas by Sally MacKenzie and Victoria Dahl. I'm particularly excited about SWEPT AWAY because it's my first foray into the Edwardian era, an era that has always seemed so very romantic to me--think Lucy Honeychurch and George Emerson in E.M. Forster's A ROOM WITH A VIEW; Elise McKenna and Richard Collier in SOMEWHERE IN TIME; Rose and Jack in TITANIC. For more information about the Edwardian era, please be sure to visit my LINKS page.

SWEPT AWAY will be followed by two novel-length, mass-market historical romances, release dates TBA. I've also just sold an erotic, Edwardian-set novella to Harlequin SPICE! Look for LOVER'S DAWN in the Winter Solstice-themed anthology WINTER'S DESIRE coming November 2009 in trade paperback. I'm excited to be working on WINTER'S DESIRE with two dear friends, Charlotte Featherstone (my critique partner!) and Amanda McIntyre, with three connected novellas set in the Medieval, Victorian, and Edwardian eras. In the meantime, check back frequently for updates, and be sure to visit the LUST IN TIME blog--a group blog dedicated to 'hot' historicals in which I'm a contributor.

I hope you'll join me on my journey back in time!
