Any fan of romance novels simply cannot but know about the existence of an author like Jude Deveraux. The books of this writer won the hearts of millions of people around the world. What is the secret of such popularity? In order to find out, you need to read at least one work by this author.

All Deveraux Jude's books are written in the genre of historical romance, which means they are designed more for a female audience. Each work has a particular style, and any storyline is focused on the image of a strong and confident woman. The American writer wrote her first book, Enchanted Land, back in 1976, and it was published a little later. For this novel, Deveraux Jude received a check for $7,500, after which she almost immediately quit her job as a teacher. According to the writer, this step was the most remarkable scam in her life. Then the novels were published one after another, but first of all, Devereux Jude won over readers with her series of works called the Velvet Saga. It is worth noting that the writer did not limit herself to “English-Scottish” novels; in the later period of her work, she transferred the actions taking place in books to post-revolutionary America. Interestingly, some of Devereaux Jude's books are a mixture of genres - love story and mysticism. In particular, the writer used such a writing technique as the transfer of heroes with the help of some paranormal forces from the modern world to past centuries.

It is noteworthy that 36 of Devereaux's works were included in the bestseller list, and the total circulation of her books amounted to more than 30,000,000 copies.

I would like to add a few words about Jude herself. Her real name is Gilliam. Jude Deveraux taught teaching for about 6 years, before the publication of her first novel. She was married twice and divorced twice. The writer had only one child - her adopted son Sam, married to her second husband Claude Montastier. He tragically died at the age of eight.

Currently, Jude resides at his home in Charlotte. In addition, she owns real estate in Italy and the UK. Her hobbies are cooking and watching TV shows. Moreover, she likes to combine these activities - cooking and watching her favorite movie. Among the latest films, she liked to watch The Mentalist and House M. D. the most. Jude has traveled extensively and continues to travel to this day. She likes to spend time with her friends - go shopping and go to the movies. But she devotes most of her time to writing new novels.

Who would you recommend Jude Devereux's books to? You can read them to everyone without exception, however, with some adjustment for age, since the novels containvery revealing scenes. But in each book there will definitely be a happy ending - all the villains will be punished, all lovers will certainly find each other after a long series of adventures and trials. As Jude herself says, she writes happy books because she is very happy herself. Perhaps this is the secret of her success - to be happy, do what you love and get good fees for it.
