Welcome to Abigail Dane Romance
History happily ever after...
Abigail is...
...incurably curious
A professor, trainer, consultant, editor and multi-award winning author published in both fiction and nonfiction,
Abigail’s low boredom threshold explains her five university degrees and five professional careers.
Born in the heart of the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri, she now lives in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge of Virginia. Her home in the Shenandoah Valley is not far from the spot where her intrepid Royalist ancestors first settled in the mid-1600s after fleeing Cornwall, England, upon the execution of King Charles I.
A long-standing habit of reading a books a day, 20 years of genealogical research and a lifelong fascination with history
fueled her desire to write historical romance novels
based on her own ancestors’ stories.
Books One-Four of the “Whitleigh” saga are now in print.
Coming soon: Book Five—The Lieutenant and the Spitfire.
...creative
Abigail has never known a creative person
who wasn’t creative in multiple ways.
Writers draw, actors paint or sculpt,
poets design jewelry, jewelry-makers write poetry,
artists compose music, pianists invent gadgets,
inventors play the piano or sing, and so it goes.
Creativity is not merely an impulse; it is a drive.
Just ask any creative person.
Her own creativity drives Abigail’s love of writing and editing;
arts and handcrafts, paper-engineering, art doll-making and crochet;
as well as other hobbies and pursuits.
...easily amused
Sign: Slippery when wet.
Motto: If it ain’t broke, break it.
Belief: Happy endings are intentional.
Philosophy: Fairy tales deserve sequels.
FUN FACT. Did you know...
Abigail’s PhD dissertation utilized her own instrument to measure intuition and explore the question: “How intuitive am I?”
She was told it couldn’t be done. (SPOILER ALERT: It could.)
In fact, she established a strong correlation between creativity and intuition. UH-HUH…
