Judith McNaught (born May 10, 1944) is a bestselling author of over a dozen historical and contemporary romance novels, with 30 million copies of her works in print.〔 She was also the first female executive producer at a CBS radio station. ==Early career== Born on May 10, 1944 in San Luis Obispo, she majored in Business at Northwestern University. She married a St. Louis dentist and had two children, a daughter, Whitney, and a son, Clayton, before her divorce. Before gaining success as a writer, McNaught had previously worked as an assistant director for a film crew, an assistant controller of a major trucking company, president of a temporary employment agency, and president of an executive search firm.〔 She also was the first female executive producer at a CBS radio station.〔 She met her second husband, Michael "Mike" McNaught, while working as an assistant director for a film crew, working on a movie for a General Motors division. McNaught was the director of public relations for the company. Between them, they had seven children, her two and his five from a previous marriage. Her husband encouraged her to write, buying her a new typewriter and being supportive through the years that publishers rejected her novels. McNaught's first manuscript was ''Whitney, My Love'', which she wrote between 1978 and 1982. After having difficulty selling that novel, she wrote and sold ''Tender Triumph'' in early 1982. She received the book cover for ''Tender Triumph'' on June 20, 1983—the day after her husband was killed in an accident.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Judith McNaught」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
