I have always felt my life has been blessed. I've been married to the same wonderful man for over thirty years (would you believe me if I said we were wed at the tender age of twelve?), raised two beautiful intelligent daughters, Sara and Carey, and spent the last twenty-eight years as a women's gymnastic judge.

I have a fantastic sister named Nancy, a lovely niece, Claire, and a handsome nephew, John, as well as an assortment of aunts, uncles and cousins who all plan to come to my book signings to keep me company.

I've lived in Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, and the Washington DC area, and now live at the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula in a tiny town in Virginia called Cape Charles. Besides my husband, I have three dogs, Rudy, Buckley, and Belle who keep me company, and I still judge gymnastic meets at the age group and college level whenever I can. But ever since I discovered the magic of books, about the time I was five years old, reading has been my passion.

Since I began writing full time I’ve published six books with Kensington, and four with Avon.  My fifth Avon book, Almost a Goddess, will be out in June 2006.. Each of my books has what I like to call a ‘whimsical’ theme, though the stories are very different from one another. If you enjoy reading about true to life heroines who are built like "real" women, then you’ll love the characters I create. Each of my ladies is curvy and statuesque, and not one of them has a waist that can be spanned by the hero’s hands. They are independent thinkers who take charge of their lives in some of the most imaginative ways possible.

Though my heroes aren’t dark and dangerous (I don’t relate to alpha males) they are adorable men who somehow manage to get themselves in situations which can only be overcome by the ingenuity and love of the right woman. They’ll be good looking, of course, but their most important personality traits will be their sense of humor, their joy for life and their ability to fall head over heels in love with the woman of their dreams no matter her unique personality or imperfections.

If you like books that make you smile, have interesting plot twists and fairy tale endings, I think you’ll find my books a perfect read.
