Sandra Gulland is author of
the Josephine B. Trilogy, the internationally best-selling novels based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte, Napoleon's wife. The Trilogy is now published in 14 countries, and in 12 languages.
An American-Canadian, Sandra Gulland was born in Miami, Florida, and lived in Rio de Janeiro, Berkeley and Chicago before immigrating to Canada in 1970 to teach in an Inuit village in northern Labrador.
Settling in Toronto, she worked as a book editor for a decade before moving with her husband and two children to a log house in northern Ontario, where, in 1985, she began writing full-time. Ten years later, the first of the novels in the Josephine B. Trilogy was published.
Mistress of the Sun, a historical novel set in mid-17th century France, will be published in February, 2008, in Canada, and the following June in the U.S. It is inspired by the life of Louise de la Vallière, an extraordinary equestrian and mistress of the Sun King.
Sandra and her husband live half the year in Ontario, and half in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. For more information about the author, her research and work, go to her website at www.sandragulland.com.
