This has to be the hardest part of writing, for me anyway,
deciding what to say about myself. (Yes, I cringed in job
interviews when my potential boss would smile and say, "So,
tell me a little about yourself.")
I was born and raised in a small town in the suburbs of
Chicago. Other times and places were always more
interesting to me than boring old now, so instead of
watching The Brady Bunch like the other kids I grew up
with, I was glued to the TV watching Buck Rogers and
Battlestar Gallactica, The Adventures of Robin Hood,
Excalibur, and anything else steeped in fantasy.
I loved to read, and since Mom had a closet full of
books, I raided those shelves constantly—of course, they
were romances. My favorites were always the ones with the
pirate heroes. I tried writing one when I was a teenager,
but quickly discovered that I had no clue about what I was
doing, so I locked away that dream of becoming a writer and
concentrated my studies on a normal job. In the process, I
met my husband Mike. Instead of going to my senior prom, we
walked down the aisle.
It wasn't until after the birth of my second child, and
we'd decided that it would be best if I stayed home with
the girls, that I was able to act on my dream of becoming a
writer. This time though, I decided that I was going to do
it right. I took correspondence courses, read every
writing "How To" I could get my hands on (I still do), and
joined the Romance Writers of America. Captive Hearts is my
dream finally realized. I hope you enjoy it.
