I have always been fond of language. Being the youngest child of a large family, I learned at an early age how valuable words truly are. Often I am asked why I chose romance as the umbrella genre to write for ' I think it boils down to an insatiable degree of hope, the belief that dreams do come true, there is happiness to be found despite the amount of horror or atrocity one might suffer. I believe that. I want to believe that. And romance holds tight that ideal.Among my awards, I am proud to say I was the 2006 CRW Author Of The Year. EPPIE winner, multiple EPPIE Finalist, AOE Finalist, Dream Realm Finalist, and Daphne Finalist.I love to hang out with my friends, family, my readers at and event or on my loop and I love to hear from those how have read and enjoyed my work.
