[b]Кэрол Мортимер[/b] ([i]Carole Mortimer[/i]) родилась в 1960 г. на востоке Англии в маленькой деревушке. Сама она рассказывает, что ее родители до сих пор живут в доме, где она появилась на свет, недалеко живут и два ее брата. В начале своего жизненного пути Кэрол Мортимер, хотела стать няней и даже училась этому в течение года, однако эти планы не осуществились из-за ее проблем со здоровьем. Она продолжила свой профессиональный путь в компьютерном департаменте компании, которая занималась канцелярскими товарами. Однако во время работы там она попробовала написать свой первый роман для издательства "Mills and Boon", но в опубликовании первой рукописи было отказано, поскольку, как вспоминает автор, "она была слишком короткой, и сюжет не соответствовал стандартам". Прошло два года прежде чем Кэрол Мортимер решила попробовать вновь. Ее вторую рукопись приняли, и это стало началом долгой и плодотворной карьеры. Через 20 лет после опубликования первого романа (1978 г.) она отпраздновала публикацию своей 100-й книги, а через 30 - написала первый исторический любовный роман серии "Mills & Boon Historical series". Мужа Кэрол Мортимер зовут Питер, когда они поженились у него уже было двое детей, а сейчас в их семье уже шестеро детей. Полная библиография на английском языке.
