Elizabeth Hoyt's Press Kit

Publisher’s Weekly has called Elizabeth Hoyt’s storytelling “mesmerizing.” The author of The Raven Prince, The Leopard Prince, The Serpent Prince, and To Taste Temptation, Elizabeth writes wickedly witty historical romance. She also writes deliciously fun contemporary romance under the name Julia Harper. Her debut contemporary romance, Hot, was a January 2008 release.

Elizabeth was born in New Orleans, where her mother’s family has lived for generations, but she was raised in the frigid winters of St. Paul, Minnesota. Growing up, her family traveled extensively in Britain, spending a summer in St. Andrews, Scotland, and a year in Oxford. She earned a bachelor of arts degree in anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Wisconsin was also where she met her archaeologist husband--on a dig in a cornfield. Continuing the cornfield theme, Elizabeth and her husband live in central Illinois with their two children and three dogs. She is an avid gardener with over 26 varieties of daylilies in her multiple gardens and more hostas than any one person can count. The Hoyt family enjoys taking family vacations that invariably end up at an archaeological site.
