Connie Briscoe came from a very loving family who were close and very supportive to each other. When she was born she came out with a natural hearing loss, which was passed on to her from her fathers side. When she was in school she had moderate problems and she was still able to attend public schools and even college. When she got to her mid-twenties her hearing loss got worse and she was forced to get a hearing aid. She says, “She never lets her hearing difficulties get in the way of the things she wants to do.” “She just adapts and goes on.”

          Ever since she has been a kid she has had a way with words. When she was in her twenties she began to write a couple of novels, but they were not completed because she didn’t have enough life experience to create a conclusion. She put these novels of hers off and went after her career traveling the world, photography, and a short marriage. Although it appeared that writing would not be a part of her life anymore, her need to write stuck with her. Her career as an editor began to progress and she decided to try her writing career again. In the middle of her 2^nd attempt at writing she produced Sisters and Lovers, which sold over 600,000 copies. This novel appeared on bestsellers lists all over the nation.

          Currently, Connie and her husband share a house in Maryland with great views, which is a perfect setting for her latest novel, P.G. Country. She is a very gifted writer who loves doing what she is doing, I’m sure that we will see many new and exciting novels from Connie Briscoe.
