I was an all-around tomboy. I helped my father coach Little League baseball teams when girls weren't allowed to play hardball. Boo! Damn shame, too. I beelined the ball from centerfield to home plate, outran the players, and then I shocked everybody with an over-the-fence homerun. Read romance? Not. Sports were my cheap thrills, if only from the grandstands. Then, that first kiss happened, and something weird hit me. Did I change dress codes? Wear ruffles and lace? A bra? Puh-lese. It took both my brothers to peel this thirteen-year-old off the fourteen-year-old kid who stuck his tongue in my mouth, to keep me from pounding his face to ground meat.

My life changed, luckily. I grew up and learned to make love, not war. I've read thousands of books in all genres. Now, my cheap thrills are writing scorching-hot erotic romance and sharing a loving relationship with my romantic husband.

We're worldwide travelers. Over the years, I've met so many memorable people, from camel herders to Grammy winners, scientists to foreign dignitaries. Let's not stop there.

How could I forget the hot-stuff stripper who took control of my stag-ette party? Fact:  I planted the stripper number in Bryce's shoes--STRIP's hero. I kid you not. He's right over there. Ain't that some burnin' love? Don't let me digress into that.

Moving on. I submitted two romantic suspense novels to editor Hilary Sares of Kensington Publishing. No sale, but her encouragement and my persistence kept me focused on writing. Then, I got The Call on my first erotic romance from Hilary. Cloud 54 took me to heaven. Or she did. Anyway, I landed in a dead run to start the next work, and the next....

Is writing sizzling romance difficult? You betcha, but I'm up for any sweet challenge worth conquering, be it brazen lust or bona fide love. And, you know what? Every day, every scene, and every character begins an exciting new challenge.
