Liora Penrose writes love stories steeped in old houses, older magic, and the kind of heroines who open doors they were warned to leave shut.
Some of them happen in candlelit Regency manors, some on crowded New York trains. Both of her books are free to read.
When she isn't writing, she's probably reading something with a dark cover and a glowing endorsement from someone who cried on public transit.
