I didn't always want to be a writer. But my love of books was present almost from the start. As I grew up, my dream was to open a used bookstore, with a small cafe attached. In preparation for making that dream a reality, I spent hundreds of hours with my nose in a book. In fact, I have perfected the art of walking and reading at the same time. I then went on to graduate from a culinary college, and by chance, instead of picking up a textbook one day, I picked up a romance novel. And fell in love. I devoured every romance novel I could get my hands on, then started on everything else. I realized that I had a story to tell also. As I began to write, I discovered that I didn't just have one story in me, but many, many stories. Here's hoping I get to share them all with you...
