Meet Victoria

Ms. Sportelli writes strong, determined women, who challenge customs and social order to gain their desires. In every age, women seek love and acceptance of their strengths. She writes historical romance so her readers can feel what love was like in different countries and other times.

In her newest romance set in 1723 Venice, Italy, Grazia desires Antonio’s heart, but he just wants an heir. The newlyweds struggle to adjust to their differences as they face disapproval from the Venetian nobility, challenges they did not expect, and a secret that could destroy their union.

Through the Lady Margaret prequel and trilogy, you can feel how women were treated in 12th century England. Three factions want King Henry I dead, and he needs an heir. While helping the queen bear a healthy son, Margaret finds a love she did not expect.

When asked if she wants to live in the past, Ms. Sportelli kindly replies, “No indoor plumbing. No electricity or central heat. No chocolate. No thank you. I love to write about women from the past, but I prefer our modern amenities.
