I'm one of those writers who always knew that she wanted to be a writer. It took me a while, however, to figure out precisely what I wanted to write. Reading Kathleen Woodiwiss’ “A Rose in Winter” sealed the deal for me and I’ve been reading and writing romance ever since. I should have known I was destined for this when my Barbies insisted on hosting elaborate masquerade parties, complete with stolen kisses in the moonlight.
Let’s see...where I came from. I was born the youngest of three kids (read spoiled!) and raised in Central Texas, in the beautiful Hill Country, right smack-dab between Austin and San Antonio. My parents were high school sweethearts and married a week after my mother graduated – they both needed their parents’ permission to marry since they were so young. So I blame them and their amazing marriage for the fact that I’m a hopeless romantic and so darned picky in my own love life.
Somewhere along the line, I graduated from college with a degree in Sociology, only after completing an internship with none other than award-winning author, Pamela Morsi. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life and I learned more about the writing business than I could have hoped.
After college I worked a myriad of jobs: Computer Software Trainer, Recruiter, Administrative Assistant. But no matter what my day job, I come home to my real job and click, click, click away on my computer and get lost in my imaginary world where justice always prevails and the girl always gets her guy! It’s the coolest job in the world.
I’m a member of four great RWA chapters, Austin RWA, SMRW, Kiss of Death and Hearts Through History. I'm married to the most amazingly supportive man who makes me laugh every day. He's so proud of my career, and loves to tell people, "My wife is a romance novelist." We live in Tennessee, where my husband is a professor at a small Liberal Arts university.
We have two very spoiled cats who are of no help at all when it comes to my writing, although they sometimes nap in the same room where I sit diligently working.
And now the writing dream is complete. My debut historical, COURTING CLAUDIA, was released from Avon Books in August 2005, and I've had two other releases, A STUDY IN SCANDAL (March 2006) and DELICIOUSLY WICKED (Oct. 2006) which are part of my popular Ladies' Amateur Sleuth Society series. The third book in the series, TEMPTED AT EVERY TURN will release in August 2007.
