J. L. Spohr

Jennie L. Spohr has studied the trials and tribulations of royals since Princess Diana took that long walk to the altar. Her bestselling historical Renaissance romance series The Realm, including Heirs & Spares, God & King, Crown & Thorns, and Sword & Shield, has received rave reviews and rankings. She made the innovative decision to write two "spice level" editions of her series so readers could pick their preference without losing any of the swoon and intrigue. She brings an informed perspective to the sixteenth century, having focused on the Reformation and the Tudors during her master's degree. She is a former ordained minister, of all things, and was called "funnier than Philippa Gregory" by the illustrious Nancy Pearl.
