Jeannie Lin has been writing seriously for over four years. After a long journey through rejections and contests and revisions, her manuscript, Butterfly Swords, won the 2009 Golden Heart® award for historical romance. Harlequin Mills & Boon has bought the manuscript and she is thrilled that a major publisher is willing to take a chance on such an unusual setting! She has completed three full length manuscripts and several shorter works.

She serves as vice-president of her local RWA chapter, MORWA and maintains membership in LARA. Her principle online writing community is Romance Divas and she recommends that any romance writer looking for like-minded individuals come and take a look.

As of May 2009, Jeannie is represented by Gail Fortune of the Talbot Fortune Agency Inc.

Her stories are inspired by her love of adventure and fantasy in both western and Asian traditions. From an early age she was fascinated by legends of King Arthur and the fantasy of Lord of the Rings as well as the Chinese wuxia (martial arts) fiction. As a result, she writes heroic characters in epic situations while interweaving a strong romance to make larger than life characters human. For more on wuxia, see the extras section.
