J. G. Lewis grew up in London, England. She came to the U.S. for college and a career as a museum curator. Her mysteries evolved from the idea of bringing almost-forgotten but fascinating historical figures to life by creating stories for them. The Ela of Salisbury series features the formidable Ela Longespée, wife of King Henry II's illegitimate son William. The widowed mother of eight children, Ela served as High Sheriff of Wiltshire and castellan of Salisbury and ultimately founder and abbess of Lacock Abbey. J. G. Lewis currently lives in Florida with her dogs and horses.
