I love writing stories!

Strong heroes, feisty heroines, and the hijinks they get into on their path to true love are my passion, and I can’t get enough. A good book, whether I’m reading or writing one, is like riding a roller coaster in the comfort of my favorite armchair…and with over thirty books written under three pen names, I can say that when I’m immersed in the sagas of my characters, I feel like I’m right at home.

When I’m not writing the next romance, I’m hanging out with my family…helping my youngest with her studies or my husband, also a writer, edit his work. We live under the palm trees in Southern California, in a spot where the winters are short and the summers are steaming hot.

I love stories, and getting to create one, discovering twists and turns as a scene unfolds on my screen, is as exciting as reading a book for the first time. And even though I try and plot a roadmap for the journey, my characters like to surprise me with detours I wasn't expecting!(less)
