Hi there my name is Jean Fullerton and I would like to welcome you to my website. I hope you’ll take the time to have a look around and find out about me and my novels. It’s also an opportunity for you to see the place where my novels take place as I take you on my very own tour of East London. A little bit about me: I was born into a large, East End Irish emigrant family and grew up in the overcrowded streets clustered around the Tower of London. I still live in East London, just five miles from where I was born. I feel that it is that my background that gives my historical East London stories their distinctive authenticity. I first fell in love with history at school when I read Anya Seton’s book Katherine. Since then I have read everything I can about English history but I am particularly fascinated by the 18th and 19th century and my books are set in this period. I just love my native city and the East End in particular which is why I write stories to bring that vibrant area of London alive. I am also passionate about historical accuracy and I enjoy researching the details almost as much as weaving the story. If one of my characters walks down a street you can be assured that that street actually existed. Take a look at Jean’s East End (content/view/15/26/) and see the actual location where my characters played out their stories. text/html 2004-08-09T08:30:34+01:00 http://jeanfullerton.com http://jeanfullerton.com/content/view/2/ Jean wins the 2006 Harry Bowling Prize for a debut novel set in London. text/html 2004-08-09T08:30:34+01:00 http://jeanfullerton.com http://jeanfullerton.com/content/view/3/ April 2008 Jean will be attending the Historical Novel Society's annual Conference in York July 200 Jean will be a panel member at the Romantic Novelist Associations annual conference in Chichester. text/html 2004-08-09T08:30:34+01:00 http://jeanfullerton.com http://jeanfullerton.com/content/view/4/ No Cure for Love Jean’s prise winning novel will be available in paper back from Orion Publishing December 2008
