Phoebe Conn loved to read and was inspired by a TV commercial to begin writing a book as a fun summer project. By the time she returned to teaching school in the fall, writing had become her passion. There are more than seven million copies in print of her historical, contemporary and futuristic books written under her own name as well as her pseudonym, Cinnamon Burke. She is a native Californian, the mother of two grown sons and two adorable grandchildren. She attended the University of Arizona, and California State University, Los Angeles, where she earned a BA in Art History and an MA in Education. She loves bringing action and adventure into romance and hopes all her readers are blessed with love.
