About this author

I write smart, witty stories for smart, witty readers.

An Air Force Brat born to southern parents, I've lived all over the place but seem to have settled in the Pacific NW in the Portland OR area. I've been married to the same man for over 20 years and we have 2 teenaged sons.

Reading-wise, I love romance (all genres and heat levels), chick lit, mysteries, and YA (dystopian and contemporary mostly).

In general, I write and read but do NOT review. My top ten favorite books read each year I give 5 stars. If you're an author and I've read your book and you want my opinion, I'll give it to you privately upon request. I support writers in other ways as best I can however, and can be a pretty enthusiastic cheerleader.

Meet you again at the bottom. *** Thanks …

Wrong! It's Drew Evans.

Drew is crude, crass, vulgar. He's immature and spoilt. He wants only one thing from a woman. He's a chauvinist pig. He's a man whore. He is disgusting.

He is hilarious!
