After ten years of graduate school and too many degrees, NYT and USA Today bestselling author Anne Marsh escaped to become a technical writer. When not planted firmly in front of the laptop translating Engineer into English, Anne enjoys gardening, running (even if it's just to the 7-11 for slurpees), and reading books curled up with her kids. The best part of writing romance, however, is finally being able to answer the question: "So... what do you do with a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures?" She lives in Northern California with her husband, two kids, and four cats. You can visit her online at http://www.anne-marsh.com.
