  <about><![CDATA[PENNY WATSON is a native Pittsburgher whose love of romance started at the age of twelve when she discovered Gone With The Wind in the middle school library.  This resulted in numerous attempts at a first novel involving a young lady with windswept hair who lived in a treehouse.

A biologist by training, Penny has worked at various times as a dolphin trainer, science teacher, florist, and turfgrass researcher (don't ask).  Through it all she was a compulsive reader and collector of romance novels.  After taking time off to raise her two spirited children, she decided to rekindle her passion for storytelling with the support of a wonderful writer's group, The Quirky Ladies.  Now she gets to incorporate her wide array of interests, including gardening, cooking and travel into her light paranormal stories.  Penny lives outside of Boston with one fly-fishing crazed husband, two lively Filipino kids, and a wiener dog.
