The author, who normally would have been at the Romance Writers of American annual conference, which she has attended almost every year since she began writing historical romance in 1994, was on a family holiday in Iceland. The day it was announced that Bridgerton was one of Shonda Rhimes’ first projects for the new programming partnership between Shondaland and Netflix, Quinn was far from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. Twelve of those novels have been the Bridgerton series. She’s since published 38 historical romance novels that have reached the New York Times Best Sellers list 19 times, been translated into 29 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. She ate it up - the ice cream and the book - and it wasn’t that she thought she could do better, as goes the typical turn-of-phrase by romance novelists, she simply wanted more. She’d been ruminating on what to do and who to be during her senior year as an art history major at Harvard University when she tucked into a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and picked up a book. Julia Quinn began writing historical romance novels by accident.
