Sharon Kay Penman, the author of Sunne in Splendour, the Welsh trilogy beginning with Here Be Dragons and two Justin de Quincy mysteries is one of the most poetic and accurate of historical novelists.

She majored in History at the University of Texas and has a Juris Doctor Degree from Rutgers School of Law. She practiced corporate and tax law for four years. No longer a practicing attorney, she has this to say about her former vocation. "Yes, I have left the profession of law, thank Heaven. I looked upon that as penance for my sins: past, present, and future. I always wanted to write; I just never expected that I could earn any money at it. So there was no choice to be made. When the opportunity arose, I pounced upon it."

Sharon was already captivated by the myths adjoining Biography of isaac.
