Sabrina Jeffries (born 1958) is American author of romance novels, who also writes under the pen names Deborah Martin and Deborah Nicholas.[1][2] Entertainment Weekly calls her "one of the long-reigning leading voices in historical romance."[3]

Early life

[edit]

When Jeffries was seven years old, her parents became missionaries and moved the family to Thailand where they lived for eleven years.[4] She began making up her own stories when she was twelve.[4]

Jeffries earned a Ph.D. in English, writing her dissertation on James Joyce.[1]

Career

[edit]

While serving as a visiting assistant professor of English at Tulane University, Jeffries attempted to develop an academic work from her dissertation.[4] Bored with this attempt, she began writing a romance novel instead.[4]

After realizing that she enjoyed writing more than teaching, Jeffries left the academic world to work as a technical writer, while writing novels at night.[4] Although her first attempt did not sell, after ten rejections Jeffries's second book was finally picked up by Leisure.[5]

She has published historical romances as both Sabrina Jeffries and Deborah Martin, and contemporary paranormal romantic suspense as Deborah Nicholas.[1]

Her novels Beware a Scot's Revenge and Let Sleeping Rogues Lie became New York Times Bestsellers.[1]
