About Loretta Chase

Loretta Chase is New York bestselling American author of romance novels. She was born in 1949 to a family of Albanian origin. She attended New England public schools and later graduated from Clark University with a degree in English. Chase worked at Clark University in administrative, clerical, and part-time teaching. Along the way, the author collaborated with clothing and Jewelry retailers, and also gained a six months experience with the Dickensian as a meter maid. According to Loretta Chase, she always had a passion for writing, and that is why she majored in English instead of something else that would have resulted in a real job. She wrote poetry, plays, letters, and the Great American Novel, which the author admits that the novel remains unfinished up to date. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Carsington Brothers Books series, Loretta Chase has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
