Some are ruined, fallen, illegitimate women, or courtesans. Even as she loves to write historical romances, most of her heroines do not fit the lady mold as most of her contemporaries love to portray. As such, most of her novels in the “Bedwyn Saga”, “Brides and Wives”, “Sullivan”, “Georgian” and her single standing novels are all set in Wales, Georgian England, or in the Regency period. Mary Balogh first got into Regency romance when she read the works of Heorgette Heyer and was immediately hooked. She got three children with Balogh Sian, Christopher, and Jacqueline that have given her five grandchildren Christo, Cash, Jayden, Shianne, and Matthew. Balogh worked as a high school teacher in Canada for several years and rose through the ranks to become principal before she left to pursue a writing career. She met Robert Balogh the Canadian ambulance driver and coroner, whom she married him a few months and went to live with in Kipling, a small prairie town of Saskatchewan. She would immigrate to Canada in 1967 when she got offered a teaching contract after completing her university studies. Mary Balogh was born to painter and sign writer Arthur Jenkins and homemaker Mildred Double in 1944. The “Bedwyn Saga” is set in Regency England and follows the life and times of the Bedwyn siblings. The “Bedwyn Saga” otherwise known as the “Slightly” or “Bedwyn Family” series are a series of historical romances by Mary Balogh the Welsh-Canadian author.
