I decided
at an early age that making up
stories in my head was way more
fun than schoolwork or ballet
class. As I’d stare
out the window during history class,
stories of romance, adventure and
intrigue would occupy my thoughts
over lectures on the Industrial
Revolution.
Years later, with a degree in
journalism, I started my career
by writing for newspapers and magazines,
and then working as public relations
manager for various non-profit
organizations.
But the
stories in my head still haunted
me so in the late 90’s
I decided to try my hand at fiction.
I sold my first book, Practice
Makes Mr. Perfect, a sweet and
sassy comedy, to Silhouette Romance
in 2002. This was followed by the
sale of Got
a Hold on You (Dorchester),
the first in my romantic comedy
series set in professional wresting.
The second book in the series,
Ring Around
My Heart, received
the Reviewer’s Choice
Award for Best Contemporary Romance from
Romantic Times Magazine.
Needing a little
balance to all that laughter, I
wrote a dark and dangerous romance
-- my debut Harlequin Intrigue, Silent
Memories (September
2006). I currently write romantic
suspense, romantic comedy and paranormal
romance.
When not
at my computer, you’ll
find me hiding out in a movie theater,
hiking in the Cascade Mountains,
walking my cats and dogs (the cats
have plush strollers <G>),
or devising new ways to trick myself
into exercising (chasing the dog
with the vacuum, perhaps?)
