Margaret Way (7 August 1935 in Brisbane – 10 August 2022 in Cleveland, Queensland, Australia) was an Australian writer of romance novels and women's fiction. A prolific author, Way wrote more than 120 novels since 1970, many through Mills & Boon, a romance imprint of British publisher Harlequin UK Ltd., owned by Harlequin Enterprises.[1]
Before her marriage, she was a well-known pianist, teacher, vocal coach and accompanist. She began writing when her son, Laurence Way, was born, a friend took a pile of Mills & Boon books to her, she read all and decided that she also could write these types of novels. She began to write and promote her country with her stories set in Australia. She sold her first novels in 1970. Margaret Way lived with her family in her native Brisbane. Beginning in 2013, Margaret began to self-publish, releasing her first "e-book" mid-July.
Margaret died on 10 August 2022 in Cleveland, Queensland.
