Mary Balogh

from Reformed Rakes Hosted by Reformed Rakes

Today, we’re discussing the career of Mary Balogh. Balogh is a Welsh author who now lives in Canada and we’re recording this near the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first Regency romance, A Masked Deception. A Masked Deception was a Signet Regency Romance published by New American Library in February 1985. Balogh’s most recent publication was Remember When, also a Regency Romance, published by Berkley and published just this January. Emma talks to Beth and Chels about the history of mass-market publishing in the United States, including category romances, and themes of Balogh’s work throughout her career. The story of Balogh’s work is a story of the last forty years of Regency romance outside the tent poles of romance history thinkpieces. Support us on our Patreon!
