&lt;b&gt;Author bio:&lt;/b&gt;

I was born in Michigan in 1979, the fourth of five children. Childhood passed in a blur of humid summers and freezing, snowy winters. 

I started writing after devouring hundreds of traditional Regency romances. I used to believe it took some kind of genius to write a book. Knowing I was not a genius, I decided to try anyway. After sitting down with a set of characters and a basic plot, I wrote my first book from start to finish. It wasn't perfect or even good by any means, but it was still something to be proud of.

Over a dozen manuscripts later, I finally consider myself a writer.

My favorite Regency authors include Jane Austen, Patricia Veryan, Marion Chesney, Loretta Chase, Barbara Metzger, and too many more to name. I also have a love of Gothic and mystery/suspense books, incorporating these themes into my own works. Gothic/suspense influences include Victoria Holt, Madeleine Brent, Carola Salisbury, and more.

I currently resides in Michigan with my husband and two children. I am working on several more Regency romances.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Victoria Holt, Carola Salisbury, Madeleine Brent, Jane Austen, Patricia Veryan, Marion Chesney, many other Regency &amp; Gothic authors]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>    <born_at>10/13/1979</born_at>
