Though born in Waukegan, Illinois, with the exception of time spent in the military as an Air Traffic Controller, I spent most of my teen and adult years in the San Francisco Bay area.

In June 2000, I bought my house on the internet, packed up a 25 foot U-haul, and moved to a small town in North Dakota. As a California girl, all my friends said I'd be back after one winter! Fortunately, they're still my friends as they didn't hold their breath! My only mistake was not making the move 30 years ago.

A few years ago after major surgery, I was in a wheelchair for eleven weeks, and wow, was I bored! I was reading two, and sometimes three Romance novels a day. I shared my disappointment with a friend regarding a novel I read, and she suggested I write my own.

So, I wrote "Loving Adonis", and stuck it in a drawer. A few months later I wrote "Twisted Engagement", and it too ended up in a drawer.

Some time later, (and we're talking years here, not months) I took "Loving Adonis" out of the drawer and worked on it again. When I asked a few friends to read it, you can't imagine my shock when I was asked how long before my next novel would be ready. So, after some fine tuning, "Loving Adonis" and "Twisted Engagement" are available for everyone to enjoy.

I now find myself enjoying just the thought of writing. Well... almost as much as reading.
