About Jackie Hilloughby
Jackie Hilloughby lives in the Worcestershire countryside with her husband and two children. She has been writing for over fifteen years and has a particular love of Victorian fiction, its drawing rooms, its secrets, and the quiet tragedies that unfold behind closed doors. Her work explores the tension between duty and desire, the weight of inheritance, and the cost of a life lived according to other people’s expectations. The Duke of Atlantica was her first novella for Tales From A Harrogate Caravan; The Duke of Rutland is her second.
