Biography

It seems natural that my two passions, writing and studying relationships, have found an outlet in the form of romance novels.

I write short, sexy contemporaries, and I'm currently working on my seventh novel. My manuscripts have placed in several writing competitions and I'm thrilled to have earned two nominations for one of the industry's highest honors, Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award.

So does that mean you stay home and play on the computer all day? Uh, no. The husband, house, and two young boys keep my hands full until the blissful silence of bedtime. Then I play on the computer.
