Born Mary Jenkins, she grew up in Swansea, Wales and moved to Canada on a teaching contract following university. It was at that time when she met the man who would become her husband, Robert Balogh. It would be another 16 years before she would start writing. Her novels are set during the Regency or Georgian period. Her female lead characters are frequently not the highly respected “lady-like” type, but rather a lower class type of woman.
