Diane H. Morris

Diane H. Morris is a retired nutritionist who writes about medicine, surgery, and the lives of women during the Regency era. She's a Jane girl and loves both Jane Eyre and Jane Austen. About her first book, Rosings Park, she claims that Anne de Bourgh made her write it. Of late she has been studying early 19th-century medicine and its awful treatments: leeches, scarification, and the regular use of quicksilver, lead, and arsenic. In another universe she lives in London and partakes of high tea at the Savoy every day. website blog: www.moorgatebooks.com/regency-dash/
