Who is Julia Quinn? The Author Behind The Bridgerton Saga.
New York Time- bestselling author Julia Quinn (Julia Pottinger) loves to debunk the myth that smart women aren’t into romance, and if you watch reruns of The Weakest Link you may just catch her winning the 79,000 dollar jackpot. She showed a decided lack of knowledge of baseball, country music, plush toys, but she was proud to say that she excelled at all things British and literary; she answered all of her history questions correctly; and she knew that there was a Leonardo da Vinci long before there were codes.
