When I was in third grade, I fell in love for the first time. Not with a boy (that would wait until fourth grade), but with a story. Homecoming by Ray Bradbury leaped out at me from the pages of a library book, and I tumbled head over heels. In the dark ages, before the days of photocopiers, the only way for me to keep a copy of this story was to write it out by hand so I could read it over and over again. Something funny happened, though, as I carefully printed it on lined notebook paper. I made "improvements".

At the age of twelve, reading Stephen King's The Stand for the first time one memorable summer, it occurred to me that people really did write books for a living. That's when I decided to become an author. I began writing short fantasy, horror and science fiction before graduating to novel-length romances.

After becoming a stay-at-home mom, I took up writing full time. Shortly after I attended my first writing conference I got my first request for a full manuscript. In 2002 I saw my first book in print, and I haven't stopped since.

My work is published in almost every genre of romantic fiction, including historical, contemporary, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, futuristic, fantasy and perhaps most notably, erotic. I also write non-erotic fantasy and science fiction, as well as continuing to occasionally dabble in horror.

My goal is to continue writing spicy, thrilling love stories with a twist. My dream is to have a movie made of every one of my novels, starring myself as the heroine and Keanu Reeves as the hero. I live in the deep, dark woods with my husband and two monsters…er…children.
