I love romance novels! I still remember the first one I read: Cassie, a Sunfire young adult romance. Quickly followed by Merrie (both written by Vivian Schurfranz) and then the rest of the Sunfire lineup. I couldn't get enough of them. I entered the world of adult romance novels when I was 16 by diving straight into the creme de la creme...that's right The Wolf and the Dove by the incomparable Ms. Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. (Oooh, Wulfgar you rotten, bodice ripping pig, I still adore you). That was all it took to start my lifelong devotion to romance novels. I started writing my first novel at age 19, finished at age 20, and received my very first rejection letter (YES! I'm a writer!) later that same year. It was a truly horrible historical. Since then I have written five more books (all soooo much better than the first). I currently write historicals, paranormals, and erotics. I am also writing a children's adventure book with my 11 year old nephew. I'm the only girl among 4 brothers and 13 male cousins. Yes, I learned very early the value of playing dirty and striking low. I practice kempo karate, have a fascination for deadly infectious diseases, and, if given the chance, could eat my weight in watermelon and turkey bacon. |
