- Courte biographie
- Jeanne Hines was born on 1922 in West Virginia by landed gentry. She says "My family thought I'd be just like everybody else, get married and stop. I'm a real character. I'm not really like anybody I know."
Jeanne worked as a reporter and fashion magazine illustrator before turning to became a novelist. Published since 1973, she signed gothic novels as her real name and romance novels as Valerie Sherwood and Rosamond Royal. She won the Romantic Times 1987-1988 Career Achievement Award in the category of "historical adventure". When Chris Marie Green (aka Crystal Green), was nineteen years old, she wrote a fan letter to Jeanne, and the popular writer answered her gushing missive and inspired Chris to write her first romance.
She wrote while she traveled with her husband between their five mansions distributed on the East Coast, but spent most of their time in a fusty Charlotte, North Carolina, ranch-style house. - Notice de désambigüisation

Nightsong par Hines
Kells chooses to go to sea and leave Carolina behind. He doesn't come back. Carolina finds herself having to flee their home. She thinks he's dead. Then, miraculously, she finds him, alive and well...and with amnesia. Carolina has to make him fall in love with her all over again if she wants to have her happily ever after. This was my favorite one of the three.
I read this first when I was 12 and again when I was 20. I still love it. Carolina is a headstrong American girl who finds herself in England and in love. Willing to do anything for love, she boards a ship and has the (mis)fortune to be on a boat taken by infamous pirate Captain Kells. This is the first of 3 extraordinary books. Sure they're bodice rippers but books like this are the reason the bodice-ripper genre is so enduring.
