Abigail Wilson is a romance fiction author that is best known for her Regency-era romance fiction. She has always had her imagination sparked by the adventure, danger, and romance of pastoral England and hence it was not surprising that she would make her name in the genre.

Abigail Wilson now combines her passion for adventure and intrigue to write heartfelt historical mysteries. Abigail penned In the Shadow of Croft Towers her debut novel and now has at least half a dozen titles to her name.

Growing up, Abigail Wilson loved reading and writing which she usually did with her sister. They used to sit on the floor of her room and they each used to write a chapter of what would ultimately become “The Adventures of Gonderay Ooflay.”

In her teenage years, Abigail attended the University of Texas and graduated cum laude. She would then go on to become a registered nurse practicing for several years. While she continued reading, it would be many years later before she read a novel with a very predictable ending that she started having ideas of becoming an author.

One day she felt very motivated and sat down to write the first chapter of her first work. Within a few months, she had a full-length manuscript and she has loved writing since.

Among some of her biggest influences include her mother who worked as a librarian for the longest time. Growing up, she instilled in her a love for books of all publication dates and genres. Her mother still remains her biggest supporter and motivator.
