Carole Mortimer is a prolific British author who has been active since about 1978. She was born in or around 1960 in England, and grew up to be a prominent voice in the romance literary genre. She has authored dozens of novels and several series, as well as contributing to several multi-author collections.
Carole Mortimer was born in a very rural section of east England. She was the youngest of three children, with two older brothers. She initially studied nursing, but soon left her studies on account of a back injury to work as a supervisor for a stationary company, where she began writing her first manuscript at a very young age.
Carole grew up reading Harlequin Mills and Boon fiction, allegedly starting to read their romance novels at around the age of eleven years old. She became infatuated with this literature, and always had a deep-seeded intention to create fiction such as this.
She sent her manuscript to the Harlequin Mills and Boon publisher in the UK, but this first attempt was rejected. However, a later attempt was ultimately published by Harlequin Mills and Boon as The Passionate Winter in 1978. This would start the career of a truly innovative pioneer in the romance literary genre and sub-genres.
The Passionate Winter tells the story of Leigh, who falls in love with Piers—the wise and sophisticated father of her boyfriend, Gavin. The sensual and almost taboo subject matter of Mortimer’s fictional works such as this quickly caught on with audiences, and she then went on to become one of Harlequin Mills and Boon’s most prolific and celebrated of their extensive roster of authors.
One of Carole Mortimer’s earliest serials was the King-Hamilton series. First published in the early 1980s, this sequence included two novels, with themes of love, revenge, passion and betrayal. In addition to being among the earliest of Carole Mortimer’s serial work, King-Hamilton is also one of the most beloved amongst her fans.
Carole Mortimer has become well known for her provocative, sensual and suspenseful romance novels, such as the Alpha series—which tell stories of powerful men and the women in their lives. Carole Mortimer has also ventured extensively into the billionaire romance genre, such as in the holiday-themed Billionaire Under the Mistletoe.
Her settings often evoke mood through visual, aural and tactile imagery of seasons changing, coinciding with the throes of passion happening within her main characters. Class distinction plays a role in much of her work—as the sexual politics of interacting classes provides fuel for much of the romantic tension pervading Carole Mortimer’s body of work.
Her characters are often powerful figures (the protagonists are predominantly female) who face challenges but overcome them as the stories progress. Many of the male characters are prominently vain, often prestigious, and even dangerous in some instances. The theme of gender dynamics pervades much of Carole Mortimer’s body of work.
Another one of Carole Mortimer’s earliest series is of the Bennett Family, which was first published in 1988. The series consists of tales of lust and love, with many forbidden romances and unlikely love stories. She also included another holiday-themed novel in the series—with A Christmas Affair continuing Carole Mortimer’s use of winter imagery and holiday traditions as literary devices.
At a later stage in her career, Carole Mortimer also began to create historical romance novels, which have been included in the Harlequin Mills and Boon Historical series. Though known for her consistently sensual and suspenseful work, she is very dynamic for a romance author—often venturing into various other sub-genres and categories.
Carole Mortimer’s output of literary work averages around a half dozen novels published each year—sometimes more and sometimes less, but always with an admirable quality of writing. She has been the recipient of some very notable awards, honors and recognitions. Perhaps most notably, in 2012, she had the distinct honor of being recognized by Queen Elizabeth the Second for her outstanding service to literature.
Carole Mortimer’s family did not move far from their humble rural village (it is said that her parents still reside in the very house in which Carole had been born) but Carole herself relocated eventually. She married Peter, a father of two, with whom she lives on the beautiful Isle of Man (a small island between Ireland and England).
The family live a picturesque and idyllic life, and Carole and her husband are very much in love with one another. The beautiful scenery on Isle of Man reflect much of the imagery brought up in Carole’s fiction. Carole loves drawing a fire in her home as the seasons change from summer, to autumn, and winter.
After she married Peter, Carole gave birth to four more children with him. All four of these children are male, which Carole jokes about as she is often living in a world heavily populated by male influence. There is apparently about a twenty two year age difference between the youngest of their children and the oldest.
Over the course of her career, Carole Mortimer has established an unprecedented stature for a serial romance author. She has drawn a great deal of attention to the genre, and maintained a loyal fan base and an always interesting body of work.
Nevertheless, Carole Mortimer’s stories and/or characters have yet to be adapted into other forms of media, such as in television or cinematic form. But her entire literary catalogue is easily accessible online, through major online book retailers (such as Amazon) as well as on her very own website: www.carolemortimer.co.uk.
If ever there were an author’s work fit for a screen adaptation, it would very likely be Carole Mortimer’s. Much of her work is serialized, and she has kept a loyal fan base for decades now. Sooner or later a producer might recognize potential in Mortimer’s fiction and have it adapted to other media (perhaps television, perhaps film, or maybe in new media).
Genre novels go through peaks and valleys of popularity, and Carole Mortimer’s pioneering contributions to the broader romantic fiction genre secure her in history as a champion of this form of literature. Mortimer revived the literary tradition with an early and prolific output that retained a consistently high level of quality. Largely because of Carole Mortimer’s extensive and immense contributions to romantic fiction, the serialized romance has been a staple for many avid readers and probably will remain so for years to come.
