ABOUT ME
This is the best job in the world. I love writing romance, especially erotic romance. And I mean real romance:
- two people
- an adventure, a conflict
- a Happily Ever After
A cute meet, some sex scenes, maybe a gun battle or a sword fight, then the kiss. Maybe some think that writing romance is easy. It's not. It's hard work. Creating two people who eventually become physically, emotionally, and intellectually attracted to each other is the most challenging thing I have ever done. Two flawed human beings like all of us - two people who find each other and somehow know that they belong together. The road may not be in a straight line, but, in the end, they make it to each other's arms - and bed.
Sensual fantasies have always been floating around in my mind. Now I'm writing them. Joining Romance Writers of America introduced me to other romance writers and helped hone the craft of sensual romance that has become my passion and niche in life. I love the creative process and am constantly, madly writing and revising the "next great novel."
Creativity in romance authors isn't usually limited to writing. My interests include building and decorating doll houses and miniature room boxes, as well as designing silk flower arrangements. Next up? Mosaics...
