About Elizabeth Leydin

My story

I write Regency stories because I love them. I decided to get serious about writing these when my Regency novella, A Generous Heart, won the RWA Ruby Award (maybe the universe was sending me a message). I came late to writing in this genre, and for many years before that I wrote for children as Pamela Freeman and mystery novels plus early 20th Century novels as Pamela Hart. I started out in the Regency writing romances. Now I’m bringing my mystery writing together with a thread of romance in a Regency murder mystery which will be out in 2026. A classic country house mystery set in 1814: Bridgerton meets Agatha Christie, you might say!

Elizabeth Leydin was my great-grandmother, and I have her dressing table in my bedroom. Elizabeth is my second name, and it was my mother’s middle name too; a family tradition. My plan was to name any daughter I had Elizabeth, but I had a son, so the name was free for me to use when I decided to write Regencies.

Why the Regency for both mystery and romance? Well, when I first started reading adult books, my wonderful local librarian steered me towards Agatha Christie and Georgette Heyer. I loved them both, and it’s so much fun bringing those two genres together!
