About The Author


Paula Panariello is from a small town in Western Pennsylvania where she has spent the last thirty years reading historical romance novels. Sweet historical romance reigns as her favorite due to her interest in history and the pure escapism of a good happily-ever-after. During her time as a registered nurse, she would always have story ideas running through her head. Now retired, she's finally decided to put her ideas to paper. Drawing on her experiences with patients and families, Paula infuses her characters with depth and complexity, breathing fresh life into the genre. She views human emotions as intricate and unique as snowflakes. Love, loss, anger and frustration elicit vastly different responses, a truth often glossed over in the predictable plots of typical historical romance novels. She believes understanding our diverse reactions to adversity holds profound lessons and strives to translate these insights into captivating stories that draw readers into her world. Paula is the author of the Necklace Series and the Mercer County Romance Series. You can find out more information and connect with Paula at Paulapan.com
