Emily Dalton

Emily Dalton is the author of twenty-two romance novels, writing under her own name of Danice Allen for Avon and Berkley, and as Emily Dalton for Harlequin Regency and Harlequin American. Her contemporary romance, WAKE ME WITH A KISS, was named Best Harlequin American of the Year by Romantic Times magazine. Her novels have been sold around the world and translated into many languages, including Chinese.

Emily enjoys researching her novels almost as much as writing them, especially when the research includes travel. She has traveled extensively in the United States and spent some memorable times in Great Britain and Europe exploring castles and countryside.

Emily lives in Utah, but is an avid Anglophile and lover of British literature and history. At the same time, she immensely enjoys stories based in small-town Americana, both to read and write. This shared love for the "old" country and the "new" country made sense to her when her ancestry DNA test revealed that her origins are very, very British, and that her ancestors came to America with the earliest settles.

Emily is married and has two sons, one of whom lives in Los Angeles and writes for television. Her other son lives close by with this wife and two children, which makes for many fun family gatherings.

Emily loves to read, travel, do in-depth family history research, walk and shop.
