Ah, the romance author. Living in a world of black and white and glamour, silken scarves and satin cushions, having her every whim catered to by a dashing-if-dangerous man.

Don't we wish? 

Like many authors, I put stories on the page as soon as I knew how to write. I made up epics to pass the time on moves across country and back and spent many hours having adventures. I even got the dogs involved, assigning them roles as sidekicks and foes!

Now I live in Northern California with my husband, cats and horses, dreaming up heroes and heroines who can (and do!) overcome impossible odds.

I'm always interested in hearing from readers and fellow writers. Drop me a line or stop by my blog! 

12/07/06 Editing the profile to mention that I am also one of the Grand Prize winners of Avon Fan Lit's writing contest this year. I've won a 12-month development deal with Fox TV as a result. I'll post updates as I know them. Thanks for stopping by!
