About the author:
Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn’t a writer or a
reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater,
song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had
never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I
remember the day I did like it was a moment ago - my aunt gave me the
Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I
couldn’t put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to
the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything
she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone,
Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those
emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my
own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I
enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique
partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and
I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on
obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one
was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else
from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even
after you’ve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got
the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy
was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and
had my two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like
motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream
come true.
