Irene Ord was from Darlington in England. A grandmother of six with white hair and large glasses she published under a number of pseudonyms. She died at the age of 83, having had her first romantic novel, Desert Romance , published in 1977. Others soon appeared with contemporary settings (Not the Marrying Kind, Midnight Melody, Courier Nurse), and then historical novels under the names Emily Wynn (Straw Damsel, April Squire, The Passionate Prude) and Kate Fairfax ( Sweet Fire, Wild Honey). Some of the books were reissued as large-print Linford Romances; others as mass-market paperbacks from Putnam-Berkley, Ace and Charter in the United States.
She turned to the western only after producing a string of more than thirty romance novels, which were published under the name of Tex Larrington.
