Author Renée Reynolds grew up all over the world in a family whose motto is you can never learn too much, travel too much, or talk too much. She owns an impressive stack of degrees that she ignores to instead write about what she cannot do: go back in time to dance at balls and flirt with lords and scoundrels. Renée found her happily ever after in Texas, where she resides with her family and a menagerie of pets. They've added to the family motto: you can never read too much, too often, or too late at night.
