I gobbled up my first romance novel in college and whooo boy, it was a LOT more interesting than my accounting class. I graduated with a business degree and a heavy crate of paperback novels.

​

Those books provided a much-needed escape from the bleak reality of a new job in a lonely city. Whenever I picked up a romance novel, I escaped to a fictional small town, met friendly people, and fell in love with characters who'd do anything for each other. In those books, there was always a happily-ever-after.

​

I found my happily-ever-after when I married a large chemist who thought I was hot. When we had a cute baby, I became a stay-at-home mom (my favorite job). When I needed an escape from diapers and visits to the pediatrician's office, I wrote my first novel and discovered that writing romance was as much fun as reading it.

​

If you long for an escape to a place where you can be surprised by tough guys with tender hearts and smart women who like to laugh, try one of my award-winning books.
