About Rita Bradshaw

Rita Bradshaw is the pseudonym of Helen Brooks, a British author best known for the writing of historical romances. Bradshaw was born in 1950 Northampton England to Vi Whitsey, a woman who brought her up under Christian values. She met her husband Clive when she was only sixteen years old and the magic has stayed strong for nearly fifty years. Together they have three children Benjamin, Faye, and Cara and a menagerie full of pets that includes two very comical dogs that would make for a very good episode of the World’s Funniest Animals. Even as the pets, friends, and children they have accumulated over the years leave the fridge empty and keep the house buzzing, Bradshaw loves it just that way. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Rita Bradshaw 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.
