Rona Sharon is the author of two historical romance novels. Her debut book MY WICKED PIRATE (Zebra, 2006) and her forthcoming book ONCE A RAKE (Zebra) is set in the Regency period in England and scheduled for release in December 2007.

Rona lives in Israel. She has traveled extensively around the world since childhood and speaks five languages. She has degrees in Accounting and Economics from the University of Tel Aviv and has spent several years working as a tax specialist for the Treasury Department before making the decision to write fulltime.

As part of her meticulous research for her debut book MY WICKED PIRATE, Rona took courses at the Italian Embassy in Israel, won a scholarship from the Italian government to continue her studies in Rome, and consequently spent two months traveling all over Italy, immersing herself in the country’s rich history and culture. Rona has a passion for western history, mythology, and literature, and prides herself on the detailed research that goes into her novels.

“A pair of perfectly matched protagonists, whose scorching chemistry is the core of this sexy, swashbuckling, wonderfully old-fashioned historical romance” (Booklist) as well as for “sweeping readers… [while] the action never stops nor does the loving! Readers will be well satisfied with this talented new author.”
