Julia Quinn is the pseudonym used by Julie Pottinger (born Julie Cotler in 1970), a best-selling American historical romance Biography Julie Pottinger was raised primarily in New England, although she spent much time in California after her parents divorced.cite web | last = Lammerhirt | first = Pia | coauthors = Isolde Wehr | title = Interview With Julia Quinn | work= | pages = | language = | publisher = Die Romantische Buecherecke | month = February | year = 2001 | url =http://www.die-buecherecke.de/quinn2.HTM | accessdate = 2007-04-03] Even as a small child she devoured books. Her father disagreed with her choices of reading material, "Sweet Dreams" and the Pottinger graduated from Harvard with a degree in Art History. During her senior year of college, she realized that she did not know what she wanted to do with her degree and decided to attend medical school. That decision required her to attend two additional years of college to complete the science prerequisites necessary to apply for medicial school.cite web | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = About Julia | work= | pages = | language = | publisher = Julia Quinn Official Website | date = | url =http://www.juliaquinn.com/about.htm | accessdate = 2007-04-03] To occupy herself during the long days of studying science, Pottinger began to write light-hearted Regency romance novels. A few weeks after she was accepted to medical school, she discovered that her first two novels, "Splendid" and "Dancing At Midnight", had been sold at auction, an unusual occurrence for a novice romance author.cite web | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = Julia Quinn Makes her own Destiny | work= | pages = | language = | publisher = Romantics at Heart | year = 1996 | url =http://www.likesbooks.com/quinn.html | accessdate = 2007-04-03] She postponed medical school for two years while she wrote two more novels.cite web | last = White | first = Claire E. | coauthors = | title = A Conversation with Julia Quinn | work= | pages = | language = | publisher = Writers Writes | year = 1998 | url =http://www.writerswrite.com/journal/nov98/quinn.htm | accessdate = 2007-04-03] By the time Pottinger finally entered Yale medical school to realize her dream of being a doctor, three of her books had been published. After only a few short months of studying medicine, however, Pottinger realized that she preferred writing to dissections. She left medical school and devoted herself full-time to her writing. Pottinger considers herself a feminist and gives her heroines feminist qualities that are not necessarily true to the attitudes of the times her novels are set. Her books are noted for being full of humor, with sharp, witty dialogue. The novels are primarily character-driven, lacking the great external conflicts that many romance novels employ. One of her novels, "When He was Wicked", was highly unusual for a romance novel, as the first four chapters actually describe the heroine in a happy marriage with someone who is not the hero, and then shows the death of the original husband and deals with the grief of both the heroine and hero before allowing the second love story to flourish. Most of her books are dedicated to her husband, Paul Pottinger, often with references to amusing alternate titles for the work. Her novels have been translated into thirteen languages.
