Connie Brockway
Connie’s early years are shrouded in mystery. What we do
know is sketchy and incomplete but will be presented here in
lieu of another way to fill space.
Brockway claims to be a native of either Minnesota or New
York. Neither has been confirmed. She also claims to be
thirty-two. No one has even bothered looking into this.
We do know she was attending graduate school at the
University of Minnesota when she became involved with
medical student, David Brockway. At some point they
apparently legalized the relationship because when next she
surfaces, she is sporting a new surname and a daughter.
A decade of relative anonymity ensuesexcept for the
infamous alien encounter photographs which have, of course,
now been debunked. No substantiated records occur until 1994
when Brockway published her first book, PROMISE ME HEAVEN
Since then she has written fifteen full-length novels and
three anthology stories, bringing the current number of her
books in print to over 1,500,000 published in thirteen
countries.
Brockway has twice received coveted Publishers Weekly
starred reviews and unqualified recommendations from
Library Journal, as well as two starred reviews from
the Library Journals organ, BOOKLIST. Her 2004 title,
My Seduction was named one of 2004s top ten romance
by that same industry magazine.
An eight time finalist for Romance Writers of America
prestigious RITA award, Brockway has twice been its
recipient, first in 1998 for My Dearest Enemy and in
2002 for The Bridal Season. Her books regularly
appear on national and regional bestseller lists and are
frequent Doubleday/Literary Guild selections.
Today Connie lives in Minnesota with her husband David, a
family physician, and two spoiled mutts.
