Lucia's official bio:
(But Click here for one that won't 
be found on any book jacket.)

Lucia was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in South Florida.  She has been a Peace Corps volunteer in Venezuela and a teacher in Brooklyn, New York.  She has also lived in Japan, South Carolina and southern Arizona.  After earning her master's degree in Library Science at Florida State University, she worked as a public librarian in Annapolis, Maryland.  She now lives near Annapolis.  The Western Writers of America awarded her first book, Ride the Wind, the Golden Spur Award for best historical western of 1982; it also made the New York Times Best Seller List and was included in the 100 best westerns of the 20^th century.  Since then she has written  Walk in My Soul, Light a Distant Fire, The Tokaido Road, Mary's Land, Fearless, Ghost Warrior: Lozen of the Apaches (finalist for the 2003 Golden Spur), and Shadow Patriots, a Novel of the Revolution. Her latest novel, Last Train from Cuernavaca, will be published in the spring of 2010.

Note: Love and passion are certainly found in Lucia's stories, but her books probably shouldn't be classified as historical romance.  She doesn't want the covers to mislead readers of any genre. "Robson's period details are vivid: one can almost feel the hot brass of the cannon and the hunger of the poor Mexicans and smell the Army mules and their drivers. Sarah herself has no mean gift for daily conversation and lyrical expression. With its tough-and-tender Amazon lifted from the history books, this tall tale towers in appeal and skill over most western historicals." --Publishers Weekly on Fearless)
