- British novelist Georgette Heyer was born in London, England, in 1902. Although she showed an aptitude for writing at an early age, she did not, as many aspiring writers often do, attend college as a journalism or English major; in fact, she did not attend college at all. At age 17 she wrote her first novel, "The Black Moth", which was published in 1921.
In 1925 she married G.R. Rougier, who was at the time a resident of British East Africa, and she accompanied him there after the wedding. They stayed there for three years, then moved to Yugoslavia for a year before finally returning to England.
Her historical novels and detective fiction met with great success, and several of her books were turned into films. The "Boston Transcript" noted that her detective fiction books "had the delightful talent of blending humor and mystery", and the "New York Times" book reviewer said that "there are not so many shudders in [her] murder mysteries as there are in those of some other writers, but there is a lot more fun".
On July 4, 1974, she died of lung cancer in London, England. - Vladimir Karasyov was born on 31 August 1918 in Klimovo, Bryanskaya gubernaya, RSFSR, USSR.
